Unlock the secrets of tranexamic acid (TXA) and discover how it is revolutionizing both dermatology and plastic surgery! Join us as we chat with Dr. Roy Kim, a distinguished plastic surgeon from San Francisco and Beverly Hills, who shares why he considers TXA his "secret weapon" in the operating room.

The conversation doesn't stop there. We'll delve into TXA's versatile applications across various surgeries, from mastectomies to breast reductions, and discuss its impact on reducing complications and recovery times. A fascinating study from Saudi Arabia even suggests it could shorten operative times in aesthetic surgeries.
