Breast augmentation recovery boost: common drug cuts fluid buildup
NCT ID NCT03364569
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether taking tranexamic acid pills before and after breast implant surgery reduces the amount of fluid drained from the surgical site. Forty women undergoing primary breast augmentation participated. The goal was to see if this common anti-bleeding drug could lead to less swelling and faster drain removal.
