Transexamic Acid (Txa) use to prevent bruising-experience and risk?

January 8, 2022

I am considering a facelift/neck lift/brow lift and I am concerned about the bruising and swelling. I bruise very easily. A friend of mine just got a facelift in San Francisco from a Doctor who uses TXA to prevent bruising. She hardly had any bruising and swelling. Can I request this from my doctor? What is your experience? Risks? Is there something better?
