Will I maintain this hair on Minoxidil and Dutasteride after restarting? (Photos)

shark829
I was previously on Minox 5% once a day and Dutasteride 0.5mg twice a week for a year and I saw very good growth. Unfortunately, I stopped taking meds for 6 months and I experienced hair loss. I restarted the meds. I know that I may not gain back the full density I had earlier, but can i atleast maintain my current state for the next 3 years or so? I plan to do a hair transplant after that. Currently, the hairfall has stopped after 3 months of restarting.
