Thanks for all your comments on my other post.
I'm now trying to figure out if I need to give a Propecia / Rogaine combo a fair try, or if I should just do the surgery. No pics yet, but I have a dollar-size bald spot on my crown, pretty good recedation on the front, and everything on top is thin enough you can see my scalp if I'm standing under a bright light. My goal is not to have a perfect, straight hairline and thick, wavy hair. It is rather to have enough of a hairline to frame my face. I've always had a high hairline and would be oK with the small bald spot on the back -- that much has never bothered me.
I just started Rogaine and Propecia in the last month. Do I give it a year to see if that can help fill in my appearance, or should I schedule a HT regardless. The pros are I would have a year to save up for the surgery and may choose to just use meds. The cons are that in a year, if the meds don't work, I may have lost even more hair making the contrast with my fuller head of hair more noticeable.
What is your experience? Give the meds a college try, or just do the procedure?
