The nasal deformity is an abnormality in the appearance and structure of the nose in cleft patients having unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). It involves the displacement of the lower lateral nasal cartilage, oblique and short columella, depressed dome, overhanging nostril apex, and deviated septum. Difficulty in breathing and smelling are the main problems of this deformity. Rhinoplasty for CLP patients is very complicated due to the complex nature of this type of deformity, especially in wide and bilateral cleft patients it is quite challenging.
