Does Dutasteride cause hairline and temple region recession? (Photo)

June 12, 2019
Asked By:deathpool209 in California, CA

I am 33 years old with a receding hairline and temple region. Three questions: I have been on Dutasteride 0.5mg for a year (I was on Finasteride for 8 years prior), should I wait one more year to get a hair transplant to see the full results of this medication (24 months)? Does Dutasteride contribute to temple or hairline recession as an adverse side effect? Finally, is the temple region the hardest area to transplant in terms of it looking natural? Thank you!
