I'm NW2 vertex. I have some recession in the temples and two balding patches in the crown. The rest of my hair has good density thank God to where I can comb over and it's not too noticeable

Anyways, I started using Rogaine 1.5 years ago and the hair loss has seemingly totally stopped. I'm going to start using finnasteride this week. I want to do a hair transplant but I'm worried the hair loss may come back to where the transplanted hair and the balding hair will look like a horrible mishmash

What are the odds that the Rogaine and finasteride will maintain all my current hair permanently as long as I keep using it? I want to do a big hair transplant - maybe 3800 grafts so I can have great density all over. Is that a bad idea as in should I try to keep most of my donor area for the future when I'm older? Can I use chest hair or back hair in future if I need it as transplant? I am middle eastern so I have very thick body hair

In terms of family history, all the men in my dad's side were totally bald by 24 but my mom's side has decent hair.

A good transplant will take into account density, donor, and future

No reason to hesitate

Do you think it's stupid for me to go aggressive with this transplant? As in get 3000-4000 grafts and rebuild my hairline and crown area to how it was when I was 20-21?
