Abstract
Whatever method is used to correct the deformity of the cleft lip nose, it is important to maintain the corrected contour of the nose for a certain period postoperatively. For this purpose, moldable silicone rubber is used to add volume to a ready-made nostril splint. With this material it is easy to make a splint that fits the individual contour of the nostril. Clinical examples are presented.
