However, concerns regarding potential cutaneous and systemic complications persist, and interpretation of the literature is limited by variability in dosing, route of administration, and operative technique. As a result, the safety profile of TXA when mixed with local anesthetic in facelift surgery remains incompletely defined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to evaluate complications associated with TXA mixed with local anesthetic using a standardized concentration and dosing protocol in patients undergoing combined facial and cervical rhytidectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective comparative cohort study was conducted of a single surgeon's patients undergoing combined facial and cervical rhytidectomy under intravenous sedation, with and without the use of TXA in local anesthetic infiltration (non-TXA vs TXA cohorts, 2012-2025). Tranexamic acid was administered at defined concentrations of 9.1\u2005mg\/mL for incisional infiltration and 0.8\u2005mg\/mL in tumescent solution, with an average total dose of 582.6\u2005mg per case.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 1036 patients were included (TXA, n = 556; non-TXA, n = 480).
