Role of Tranexamic Acid in Hemostasis in Liposuction

Abstract

Background: Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedures and is frequently associated with intraoperative blood loss, postoperative ecchymosis, and prolonged recovery time. Effective hemostasis is therefore essential to improve surgical outcomes and patient safety. Tranexamic acid (TXA), a synthetic antifibrinolytic agent, has been widely used to reduce bleeding in various surgical specialties; however, its role, efficacy, and safety in liposuction procedures remain an area of ongoing clinical interest and investigation.
