I think Spex nailed it. The more hair you can save via meds the less Ht's you will need. Also, like you said, with any HT focus on the Hairline and temples as these are the areas where meds are the least effective. Finally, the hairline is what people notice the most. If you have a solid hairline and a little thinning on top nobody is going to notice unless they are a foot taller than you or you bend over.

I think you should wait to at least the end of this year because by then we should know if Replicel and Histogen are successful with their trials....

No need to get a transplant now especially when much more promising treatments are right around the corner.

In addition to the great advice already given, I would say that you should keep a close eye on the crown and midscalp and see if those areas are thinning at all. Even if in your case the medications are not being effective at the hairline, they might be holding on to hair in other areas. The meds may even have slowed your hairline recession a little.
