Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is used to reduce bleeding in body contouring procedures; however, there are no studies that show the effectiveness of TXA when it is also used in the immediate postoperative period.
Methods: A controlled, randomized, parallel, and open-label clinical trial was carried out in adult patients undergoing liposculpture and/or abdominoplasty. A control group administering presurgical TXA and a study group with presurgical and postsurgical TXA were formed.
