Think I Could Get Away With Just Filling In Corners/front? Should I Wait?

I've been extremely worried/paranoid about balding for awhile now. My hair has always been pretty matured, with the corners poking backwards. However lately the top seems thin. I dont know if the picture really captures it. When its dry/not under light it looks fine, but wet and under it looks pretty bad.

I have money for hair transplant's and am wondering if it looks like I would be safe strengthening up the hairline itself and maybe filling in the corners slightly. I've never used propecia or anything nor do I plan to(call me an idiot etc. but I'm unwilling to risk my sexual functionality.

My dad and both grandfathers have pretty strong hairlines. My theory is that my hairloss has sped up to be approximately theirs from using some test. I'm wondering if you guys think it will progress far beyond where they are at. I've had a similar hairline since I was around 16, and over the past 4 or so years I've noticed it steadily get to here.

If I brush it straight down it looks totally fine, but I much prefer combing to the side

First off there's nothing wrong with your hairline, just some minor recession like 80% of people in their 20s/30s. Getting a hair transplant at this point in time would be foolish, especially considering you're not on propecia to maintain the rest of your hair.

Are you sure? Doesnt it look kind of wispy and thin? With the corners pretty far up? Or am I being crazy

No good surgeon (in North America at least) would perform surgery on you with that minor recession (if any really) and without you being on Finasteride for a year. I think it looks fine TBH.

Well thats good to hear. I honestly think its thinned but I've always been inclined to being harsh on myself. I'll probably post a few more pics when I get a chance

Bosley will surely butcher you up for less than 4k. if you call now, they may throw in a free additional 500 grafts.

Have to agree with illusions and Dave smith. If you even have male pattern baldness, and that's a huge if, then it's so minor that no credible surgeon would even consider you a candidate. Most likely BDD.

You guys serious? Heres a few more. I feel like there is definite recession. in the corners? Or would you classify that as maturity even though it seems thinner on top too

It's hard to tell from these pictures as they are quite small but the first two pictures you posted don't show any cause for concern. Since you are only 20 with minor hair recession at best you shouldn't even consider hair transplant. Do you know that hair transplant's can cause shock loss and you may end up with even less hair with what you have now especially since you aren't taking finasteride? You should only consider hair transplant when you have actually lost a significant amount of hair and your hairloss has stabilized. In my opinion it is foolish for anyone who is 20 and at or below NW3 to consider hair transplant. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. I wish I had followed that advise.
