S03E55 THE WONDER DRUG TXA - TRANEXAMIC ACID

Should you be asking for TXA (Tranexamic acid) in your cosmetic surgery procedure?

If you asked plastic surgeons 5 years ago if they used TXA- nearly all of them would have said no.

Originally approved for heavy menstrual bleeding and tooth extraction in hemophiliacs, TXA has been used off-label in cardiac, orthopedic and many other types of surgery.

Recently TXA has made its way to plastic surgery, where surgeons are reportedly using it for nearly every aesthetic plastic surgical procedure - facelifts, liposuction, tummy tucks, breast lifts, and more.

Does it really reduce bleeding, swelling and increase speed of recovery? Dr. Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic, Dr. Salvatore Pacella @sandiegoplasticsurgeon and Dr. Sam Jejurikar @samjejurikar discuss TXA, how and why they use it, and whether it really is a "WONDER DRUG" for cosmetic plastic surgery.
