This document discusses different types of incisions used in breast surgery for various conditions. The most common incisions are the inframammary and peri-areolar incisions. The inframammary incision is made at the breast crease and has benefits like good visualization, lower risk of breastfeeding issues, and concealed scarring. The peri-areolar incision is made around the nipple and allows access to internal breast tissue but can increase risk of infection and difficulties with breastfeeding. Incisions are also discussed for treating breast abscesses, removing tumors, and for breast augmentation procedures.
