The Role of Tranexamic Acid in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery: A Survey of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

BACKGROUND
Tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce intra- and postoperative bleeding as well as minimizing postoperative swelling and ecchymosis. It can be administered both intravenously and topically during surgery with minimal side effects.


OBJECTIVES
To assess the evidence of TXA use in aesthetic surgery and to complete a survey of current practice of full British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) members.


METHODS
The authors performed a literature review and online survey of full BAAPS members.


RESULTS
There is an increased indication of TXA use in aesthetic surgery. It provides multiple surgeon and patient benefits.


CONCLUSIONS
TXA is a useful adjunct in aesthetic surgery.
