You are eligible for a transplant in accordance to your age. However  Finasteride will be important in your case so that any further progression of baldness. If you do not take finasteride then you will lose more hair in the future and you will inevitably have to go for another transplantation procedure again in the newly emptied areas.

Can topical finasteride be taken into consideration or theres not enough studies for long-term health safety? I know it might sound weird but I have problem with swallowing pills

SoSoz,

Yes you are right, it is quite unlikely that finasteride will regrow hair in completely bald areas such as the frontal hairline area that is receding. And while you could undergo hair transplantation now and restore a youthful looking hairline, you need to remember that hair transplant surgery is about supply and demand. You have limited donor hair and your hair loss is advancing quite aggressively.

The truth is, if you lose all of the hair on top of your scalp which I predict you very well might, you won’t have enough hair to re-create a youthful looking hairline and provide enough coverage and density in other areas of the scalp.

So whether you undergo hair transplant surgery now or later, I suggest re-creating a conservative looking hairline and not one that’s overly aggressive and low.

What about a FUT procedure about 2000 grafts? Would this allow me to save grafts for future FUE procedures? I was thinking about Machine gun kelly case, he had done FUT procedure at 23-24 years of age. Now he's 31 and still keeps his hair full. Also I have a doctor near me which is ABHRS and ISHRS certified that specializes in FUT procedures and I was thinking in contacting him.

The answer to your question is yes. Have you considered shaving. If you can live with it, it is always better than going the long bumpy journey of HTs

Preserving as much hair as possible is the name of the game. You still have plenty left to lose, and if it goes i'm sure you're gonna feel that much worse about your appearance. Get on fin and stay on it. Generic form is 1mg, get a pill cutter and start out at .5mg for a few weeks until you feel safe to go to 1mg. Plenty of guys stay on .5mg effectively still.

I wish I knew about fin at 24.

Get on fin.

What about 0.2mg? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10495374/ This studdy suggest that 0.2mg/0.5mg dose is as effective as 1mg dosage?

But there are many people saying that you should not be on medication before hair transplant, also I can't restore my frontal hairline with finasteride since there is no hair at all, it looks terrible. Would it not be better to get a surgery with like 2000 grafts to restore my hairline and jump on finasteride,minoxidil,ketoconazole shampo and once a year PRP? 

Story: Experiencing balding since like 17, could see hair on my school books. Now Im 23(in august 24), tried shaving my head but it looks like disaster and many people has told me that. I can't longer live with hair like this so I need to do something about it. I don't smoke nor drink. I've tried minoxidil before but it made my scalp really itchy and flaky, like insane dandruff. Haven't used finasteride. I have literally bald spots on front of my head so I wont be even able to recover this with medication and I don't have motivation to use finasteride if I don't have hair in my front, also doctors said it's better to not use meds before surgery evaluation. I was contacting some doctors/clinics and they said they are willing to perform the surgery on me. Only HLC refused because of my age. My budget is 1.5eur per graft at max. Can someone give me advice what to do?
