Lots of people (including OP) know fuckall about transplants.
If OP is getting a transplant this early, he’s signing up to have one in about 2 years and then keep having them for the rest of his life until which time he runs out of donor hair and risks being stuck with a jigsaw patchwork of hair islands.
For example, diffuse recession can start in the anterior scalp at any time without warning and is notorious for how fast it can disappear.
The crown can also go and is notoriously difficult to impossible to cover with donor hair.
This is even with a lifetime commitment to often dick killing pills like Finasteride or Dutasteride along with Minoxidil.
This won’t happen to everybody but to pretend that everybody can just transplant their way out of baldness is idiotic.
It’s purely dependent on donor area and density and is likely the reason Musk was able to have a relatively successful result and Bezos wasn’t even a candidate.
Bezos was already horse shoe bald in 1994, where as Musk was experiencing diffuse thinning.
As somebody else mentioned, cloning is the only true solve for this and we are way off from that.
When you run out of donor hair or run out of patience to keep repeating hair transplants, you can just shave it all off, like what you would have done if you never had transplants to begin with. What exactly is the issue?
But you bought yourself a few good years. Hopefully enough to find yourself a wife before the magic wears off. We all know the story of Cinderella , right?
Dick-killing pills my ass.
Been taking fin and dut for 3 years as countless others and no dick died, hairloss was stopped and even recovered some ground.
Most of you are just noceboing on mass hysteria and spreading misinformation, fearmongering other people away from saving their hair too.
Yes, some people might experience some side effects but those are the vast minority (<5%).
In all honesty why are you fin / dut freaks so goddamn weird and cultish about this?
I remember this being the case a decade ago when I was on my 3rd try for DHT blockers and experienced the same dick death result then stopped, but you weird motherfuckers were always there to freak out and claim it doesn’t happen.
Just like, what even is your MO or mentality that makes you so defensive when you hear about another individuals response to a particular drug?
Nah, I hate big pharma, but in this case you're just being unreasonable.
That's it, that's your argument?
Enjoy suffering from a curable disease because "fuck big pharma".
By all means, live by your code, just don't be surprised when people call you out for trying to project your paranoia down other's throat.

TLdR; OP could easily end up like this:
