Wullstein Section

The Wulstein incision is one of the main types of rhinoplasty that corrects nasal septum defects. Even slight deformation of this cartilage tissue can affect breathing and proper air circulation in a person's nose.

Wulstein incision occurs for various reasons. From breathing problems to hereditary deformities and various injuries. With this operation, it is possible to smooth out the curvature of the nasal septum, improve its functionality and improve the quality of breathing.

One type of rhinoplasty surgery is the Wulstein incision, which was named after the German plastic surgeon Gustav Wilhelm Wullstein.

The incision is a linear cut through the nasal septum tissue along the nasal septum between both nostrils. The incision is made from the inner wall of the nose.

The purpose of the incision is to correct defects in the nasal septum, such as a crooked, uneven or weak cartilage. The operation can improve breathing, remove obstructions in air circulation and eliminate other defects associated with the nose. This operation also allows you to correct the shape of your nose and get rid of complexes associated with its appearance.

In 1894, the German surgeon W. Wulstang created a method of in-depth rhinoplasty, which he himself called L-formation. The method made it possible to effectively cope with the difficulties associated with chronic bleeding in the anterior part of the nose, which often occurs with hemorrhages, as well as with impaired breathing through the nose. The development of V. Vulstag was supported by a colleague and practitioner in Germany, Professor Borchard Gross.

The first developments of German surgeons became a kind of impetus for the development of plastic surgery in general.
