Hi everyone,

I’m 25 years old, based in Germany, and dealing with hereditary hair loss. I’m looking for advice on a hair transplant to address both my receding hairline (temples) and the thinning crown (vertex).

My Stats:

• Current Regimen: 4 weeks on Finasteride (1mg/day). No side effects so far.

• Goals: I want to fill in my receding hairline/temples to get a more framed look AND address the thinning on top/crown.

• Style: I prefer wearing my hair short (buzz cut style) and want enough density so that my scalp isn't easily visible.

• Budget: \~€4,500. (of course less would be also good lol)

My Questions:

1. Graft Distribution: For those who did both hairline and crown in one session – how many grafts am I likely looking at?

2. Strategy: Since the crown is a "black hole" for grafts, should I prioritize the hairline first and wait for Finasteride to work its magic on the crown, or do both at once?

3. Clinic Suggestions: With a €4,500 budget, I'm looking for high-quality FUE. I’m willing to travel (Turkey/Spain/etc.) to get a doctor who specializes in natural-looking hairlines.

4. Age Factor: At 25, is it too risky to fill the hairline now? My donor area looks strong (see photos).

I've attached photos showing the front, top, and donor area. Looking forward to your insights!

Is it time for a HT? 25M (Germany)
