    47M – 2 HTs (2000 FUT + 3000FUE), finasteride now or third transplant?

    Hey. Looking for honest advice.

    I’m 47and have had two hair transplants:

    • First HT: FUT – 2000 grafts in 2014 (photos attached)
    • Second HT: FUE - 3000 grafts in 2018 (photos attached)

    I’ve noticed ongoing diffuse thinning through my mid-scalp and crown. The front framing from my transplants is still there, but I feel the native hair behind it has continued to thin over time.

    I’ve never used finasteride (big mistake) but am considering starting now. I also wondered if I still have enough donor supply left for a future procedure.
    1. Is it too late for finasteride to make a difference?
    2. Rough estimate of grafts needed if I had another transplant?
    3. Does my donor area still look decent?
    4. Would you continue treatment and consider a third HT, or go shorter/shaved?

    Attaching current top, front, crown and donor photos plus older transplant photos.

    TIA
