I'm thinking I want to go for a HT in the next year , and I'm also thinking that I want to start with an FUE instead of Strip surgery because I just want to strengthen up my temple angles and the rest of my hair is pretty thick.
I've been on Proscar (cut into 4) for almost 2 years now, and the miniturizing has slowed down or stopped Im in Canada so it would probably be easier to stay domestic, but I will obviously go to the doctor that best fits my needs. Anyway ill put a few attachments of the situation, any advice would be appreciated

It's hard to tell what's going on at the front/middle where that lock of hair falls. Did you comb it down to show the temples or do you generally wear it like that? Cutting that front bit shorter will help to decrease the extent to which the temples appear receded, because at the moment it just serves to exaggerate the retreating temples.

i just combed it like that to show the extent of the recede. I normally don't wear it like that. The middle tuft is decently thick with little signs of miniturization, but the temples have miniturized/receded quite a bit.
I'm 22 and would say im a NW2 (im thinking maybe when im 23 I might go for a HT). I havent really shed since I was about 20ish im thinking thanks to finisteride (I wonder though, I also stopped taking Accutane around this time period and wonder if some of my hairloss can be attributed to that) I'm thinking I would only need maybe 800-1200 grafts maybe so FUE would be an option for me. IMO the only surgeons in Canada that I would consider for a HT are Rahal, Nakatsui, and H&W (all recommended by the HT Network)... but it seems Nakatsui is the only one that does FUE. I would like to see some more of his work and I hope he could show post op donor areas in some of his cases, although all of his results seem pretty good so far. I would really prefer not to have the smily face scar. Obviously down the line if the recession continued to get worse Strip makes more sense in terms of yield, etc (H&W, Rahal). As for right now I feel my hairloss has stabilized so a HT would be nice to strengthen my hairline.
