Hello. I'm a mid-30s male, doing some prelim research on hair restoration options for my temple area. I’m attaching a current photo of my hairline, which seems to have stabilized at its current point (and, for whatever it’s worth, is almost identical to my 65-year-old father’s). FUE strikes me as a very interesting option. In short, I'm wondering: (1) Does this seem like a reasonable goal? (2) Could I do this without Finasteride? (am risk-averse re sexual side effects, even if rare) Thanks!

Answer: FUE Since you hair loss is more limited to the hairline, FUE would be a good option in you. This would avoid the linear scar in the back of the head. However, if this scar is not that much a concern for you, a strip procedure would offer you more grafts in a single procedure at less cost to you.

Answer: FUE FUE is a wonderful technique, now constituting over 60% of the procedures I perform because it allows patients to shave their head in the future in most cases. As far as your case- your genetics are both of your mom and dad, so there can be a risk- actually a quite high one- of you continuing to lose more hair in the future, thus a somewhat conservative approach to your hairline restoration would be advisable, and continuing to take finasteride would probably be beneficial, although laser light therapy can be an option.
