You are better off stopping Dutasteride and sticking with Finasteride. If your ED problems are not resolved in 2 months, you should discuss with your doctor about stopping Finasteride.
A hair transplant works well if you are over 25. If you are under the age of 25, you should not have a hair transplant because if you continue balding behind the corrected hairline, and it will not look normal. Consequently, you will be chasing hair loss as you age. Similarly, if you have a hair transplant before your balding pattern become evident, then you will be chasing hair transplants for the next decade.
If you decide to get a hairline advancement surgery, you may see a scar.
Forehead deformities after a hairline advancement surgery can occur if the hairline is not perfectly aligned. I would go back and ask your surgeon to address your concerns. Alternatively, you could have a hair transplant and bury the “abnormalities,” but it may be better go back and see your surgeon first.

This is an interesting read. It is still a long way from the mouse to the human.
With swelling in the donor area after 4 weeks, I would worry about an infection. I suggest that you see a doctor who understands the FUE that you had done. If going back to Turkey is not an option, see a local hair transplant doctor.
Good question. There is no evidence that men who were on Finasteride have impacted their male babies. We know that Finasteride does not cross into the fertilized egg, so that alone suggests that there is no relationship to cause a smaller penis.
The best thing you can do is to get a HAIRCHECK test of your scalp which will document all of the hair loss that you can’t see. With this test, you can establish a metric which will allow you to make decisions, such as the use of medications if you are indeed balding. If you start taking medications, you can track your results over a year when you repeat the HAIRCHECK test again.

Hair loss following a hairline lowering procedure, like any facial plastic surgery is a known risk. Many times, in men who get a hairline advancement surgery, it does not come back. If you lost hair at the advancement edge, the scar will have to be covered with a hair transplant. Usually women lose hair in the corners of their hairline and this is almost always permanent so a hair transplant will also address this as well. Hair loss elsewhere may reflect a dermatologic problem which should be diagnosed if you have one. The diseases such as FFA, LLP and other types of scarring alopecias need to be ruled out in the evaluation of your problem

Hair loss after a strip surgery does happen and it often reverses over a period of time of up to 6 months. If it does not, the best treatment for it is either a scar revision or scalp micropigmentation (see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/)
Dr. Robert Bernstein and I coined the name Follicular Unit Extraction in the first published article in the field of FUE in 2002, but because of problems in the way the term has been seen and used in the marketplace, the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgeons asked us if we would agree to a change in name to Follicular Unit Excision. Dr. Bernstein wrote a good explanation as to why we agreed to that name change. Here is his post on his website: https://www.bernsteinmedical.com/news/new-nomenclature-for-fue/
