Management of Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Therapy in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery: A Literature Review.
Synthesis in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe perioperative management of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy in aesthetic plastic surgery is a critical challenge, especially with the increasing demand for cosmetic procedures among elderly patients. Currently, there is a notable lack of consensus in the available literature regarding the optimal perioperative management of these medications in elective aesthetic procedures.
methodsA systematic review of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted up to September 2024 to identify studies addressing anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy management in aesthetic plastic surgery. Inclusion criteria focused on studies related to perioperative management and bleeding risks in elective cosmetic procedures. Articles unrelated to aesthetic surgery or written in non-English languages were excluded.
resultsFrom 192 identified studies, 10 were included. Recommendations varied by procedure and patient risk. For high-risk surgeries like facelifts, anticoagulant cessation 48-72 h before surgery was advised. For low-risk procedures like blepharoplasty, continuation of antithrombotics was deemed safe in some cases, but consensus was lacking. DISCUSSION: The review highlights a lack of standardization in managing anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies in aesthetic surgery. There is an urgent need for risk-based guidelines to ensure patient safety and minimize bleeding and thromboembolic risks.
conclusionThe management of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy in aesthetic plastic surgery remains uncertain. Given the elective and aesthetic nature of these procedures, patient safety should always take precedence.
