FUE transplant for dense norwood 2 that appears stable over the last 2 years or so.

Question

Due to health reasons, using finasteride is unwise for me. My hairline appears to be reasonably stable. My father and maternal grandfather were both NW2 in their 40s, and ended up as nw3 late in life. I am 24, would be 25 by the time I consider a transplant. How viable of an option would this be?

Photos cannot assess if you would be a "good" candidate for surgery.  Usually this involves seeing a doctor in person so you can discuss your goals and understand what can be expected after an examination.

Based upon your age and what the photos show, the answer is 'do not get a hair transplant' as you are now looking good

Thank you for asking the question.
From the picture which is evident that you have a very dense hair-line and at this stage there is absolutely no reason for you to even consider a hair transplant. At best, you can discuss with an Aesthetic dermatologist or a Plastic surgeon about the possibility of conversing hair-fall. However, you have not mentioned any history of hair-fall so we are not sure that treating at this stage with the available anti-hair-loss medicines if are actually going to benefit you at all. Usually they benefit only when there is a documented history of hair-fall. At the current stage we suggest that definitely there is no requirement for a hair transplant. To summarize, you should probably discuss hair-loss treatment with your Plastic surgeon or an Aesthetic dermatologist.
