28 year old thinking about possible minor hair transplant. How will this hold up in the long run? (photos)

Fantastic546312
Hi I’m 28 years old and have a fairly big sized forehead, I have tried Finasteride and have gotten side effects. I haven’t used anything else for awhile. My dad is 50 and is probably a NW2.5-3. I want to just thicken my current hairline and bring it down a tad, but I am curious how it will hold up in the long run. How many grafts do you think I would need and would I be okay without Finasteride? Thanks!
