Hi,
So I've always had a full head of thick, curly hair. When I turned 20 I was going through a very rough depression and foolishly turned to taking testosterone to enhance my physique after years of training.
Over the course of that year my hairline receded, as shown in the picture. I never experienced hair loss before taking the testosterone, and once I stopped taking testosterone and started Finasteride and Minoxidil the hairloss has stopped. It has put me under great psychological stress and I would really like a small hairline transplant. By no means do I expect to return to my old hairline, I simply want to add a bit to the temples.
Given the fact that I did not experience hair loss prior to taking high dose testosterone, and that the hair loss stopped once I ceased the testosterone and began Finasteride, would it be safe to go through with a small transplant? Obviously my main concern is chasing a receding hairline, but given my circumstances is this still likely?
Ps - I have attached a photo to show the recession, the my back and sides are usually full but I had them shaved prior to this photo .
