Studies evaluating the outcomes of TXA administration in patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty, regardless of TXA dose and administration route were eligible for inclusion. Only studies with a control group were included. Risk-of-bias assessment was conducted using Cochrane and MINORS (Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies) tools.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our systematic review included 7 studies: 3 randomized controlled trials and 4 retrospective cohorts involving 1234 female patients (2232 breasts), 741 of whom received TXA (60%). Four studies used topical TXA, 2 used intravenous (IV) TXA, one used locally infiltrated TXA, and another combined locally infiltrated TXA with IV TXA. Four studies demonstrated benefits from TXA administration, whereas 3 studies did not. Topical TXA used just before wound closure resulted in a 42% reduction in drain fluid output and a 10-times reduction in major hematoma. The administration of IV TXA during induction resulted in a 12-times reduction in major and minor hematoma. The combined use of IV and locally infiltrated TXA reduced intraoperative blood loss. No adverse effects were reported.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>There is scientific evidence
