I was told not I'm not currently a good candidate for hair transplant. When will I be a suitable candidate? (photos)

Asked By:ryanSA in South Africa, ZA

I consulted a hair transplant surgeon and was told not I'm not a candidate - I have gaps of thinning hair rather than bald spots and the incisions would risk damaging the existing follicles. I'm currently taking finasteride for 2 months now. When will I be a suitable candidate for the procedure? Is it possible to transplant hair to the thinning areas? Should I consult another surgeon? I do not have any hair loss at the temples or front.
