    TLDR More research is needed to improve lower body gender affirmation techniques.
    The review identifies a significant gap in literature on lower extremity gender affirmation techniques, with only 1 relevant article on surgical techniques and 17 on anthropometric differences. It discusses various methods like hormone therapy, lipo-contouring, fat grafting, implant placement, and botulinum toxin injection to achieve gender-specific lower extremity characteristics. The review emphasizes the need for quality outcomes data to establish best practices for these procedures.
