TL;DR: The photo Mickle posted is from a website from 2017/18 detailing an individual's phalloplasty operation.
I Google searched the image and it came up with this website, which is a very in depth account of a woman undergoing phalloplasty - the exact same photo of the arm after flesh removal, and later after healed is shown under the '3 Month Extravaganza' heading.

Your imaginary medics seem a bit clueless then. The exact same photo appears on the above 7 year old very, very detailed, very personal web site of a phalloplasty patient.
I'm glad I'm not an imaginary patient of your imaginary doctors.
That site - Chinchilla Meat - is quite something.
A young woman talks about being androgenous and not feeling 'him or her' but is nevertheless able to get a letter from a therapist to have an operation to construct a phallus from forearm flesh but also keep her vagina. No mention of extensive therapy or counseling.
The site's last entry is 3/4 yrs after the op. No sign of regret yet but it would be interesting to see how they feel today. At least this woman didn't go on testosterone, have a hysterectomy or a mastectomy, unlike most young women who will be left with the problems testosterone brings and menopause in your 20's causes.
The whole account is a catalogue of one complication after another, with ER trips and 5 surgical revisions, lymphadema of the arm, and God knows what else.
"The drippiness issues that had been annoying me since my second urethroplasty have entirely cleared up, making the adult diapers I’d gotten into the habit of wearing (unecessary)".
I don't see how anybody can read that site and think these Frankenstein surgeries are how we should encourage young people to deal with their unhappiness with their bodies.
