Reasonable candidate for hair transplant and if so, how many grafts?

I'm 35 and have had little hair loss progression since my 20s (finally got on finasteride/minoxidil/Nizoral shampoo at some point and largely stopped further loss)

If possible I would like to go forward with a hair transplant but not sure if I am a good candidate. Is my hair loss too severe at this point (Norwood 4/5?)

What started as normal male pattern baldness with receeding temples has turned into a full thinning/loss in an inverted y although my vertex seems largely saved by the drugs for the time being. Hairline is obviously completely shot. Unfortunately I've always had a high/large forehead so that would increase the number of grafts necessary, however I would be ok with a conservative hairline. The thinning on top isn't very noticeable when my hair grows out.

Head was shaved about 10-14 days ago in these pics. How do the donor areas look?

Advice appreciated

I think you are a good candidate, your donor area looks strong. As long as you hold steady on finasteride and minoxidil I think you can have a really good result, just make sure you go to a high quality surgeon.
