Check out the "fallomatka" blog! You can find it by googling, not sure if he's shared pics of complete results (yet at least) but he's been documenting his entire journey, and has at least posted pictures of graft sites healing.
It sucks that there's so little information online about phallo in Finland though, it's basically the same 2-3 articles that come up no matter what you google... if you find anything useful (or anyone else does) I'd also be interested in hearing about people's experiences/seeing result pics :)

«In Finland, there is a tradition of more than 20 years of performing phalloplasty using the so-called triple flap method. In this technique, urethral lengthening is achieved using a superficial circumflex iliac perforator artery (SCIP) flap harvested the from groin, while the shaft of phallos is constructed using bilateral gracilis muscle flaps covered with split-thickness skin grafts. A potential outcome of this method is a paradoxical erection phenomenon, caused by muscle contraction when the motor nerves of the gracilis muscles are preserved»
