Hello all! I am posting with hopes to get some honest feedback. I am looking into getting a hair transplant to even out my hairline in the front. I want to fill in the area around my temples and thicken the front portion of my scalp. I am 28, and currently take finasteride 1mg & rogaine. Would it be ok to go ahead and "straighten" out my hairline, or would you all advise I wait? I have the opportunity to get the transplant in 2 weeks, so I would greatly appreciate any help!
