Hairline Transplants in Early-Stage Male Pattern Alopecia: Ill-advised or Viable?

[DeadRed]

I've seen a number of men that have had hair transplants to the hairlines to combat the recession from MPB.

My question is, in the case of men who have receding hairlines (in the early stages of Male Pattern Baldness, rather than just a 'maturing hairline') are the medical treatments of Propecia, Minoxidil, Anti-androgens etc effective enough to ensure that, if the patient sticks to a regime of medical treatments, the hair will not continue to recede behind this transplant, leaving an island of transplanted hair?

Would really appreciate any personal and/or professional opinions.
