You are a very young patient with temporal hair loss and thinning. The most important first consideration is your family history and an estimate as to how much hair you may lose in the future. The next step is to do everything possible to slow down your hair loss. For male pattern baldness, minoxidil 5% and finasteride are both recommended if tolerated. I also strongly recommend cellular therapy such as SVF and PRP. PRP has been shown to slow the progression of hair loss and stimulate dormant follicles. Once you lose hair in the temporal area (i.e. there are no vellum or baby hairs remaining), transplant is generally indicated. It is always very difficult to make estimates based on photos such as yours because the scale can be distorted. In general a density of about 40 FUE/cm2 is recommended. You look like you have about 30 cm2 of area requiring transplant, so that equals about 1200 grafts. Depending on the skill of the surgeon, FUE generally costs in US dollars about $6 to $10 per graft. I recommend you combine cellular therapy with FUE for the best result. For more information about this technique follow the link below.
