Some doctors don't require you to take propecia like Dr. Woods.

Look into them.

Bro, it's a tough decision. Make sure you research EVERYTHING take at least one year to research. This a big big decision and many many things can go wrong.

Good luck man !

Cheers man, I have done a lot of research but its tough to commit when there is so much BS, hearsay and propaganda out there. I will prob be like Spex and a few others in having multiple HT's, which is fine for me.

No doctor “requires” that you to take Propecia, they may suggest it ,but it is not a requirement to undergo hair transplant surgery. You should have several consultations with IAHRS surgeons and take your time before rushing into surgery. Since you are currently wearing your hair short, you might consider FUE as opposed to having strip surgery. Make sure you fully understand both the advantages and disadvantages of both. I think if you have realistic expectations and understand that your hair loss can continue to progress if you don't take medication then there is no reason you can’t have a transplant if you think it’s right for you.

Not if you're realistic about your goal and you can afford it.
