Unfortunately there is no way of telling how far it will progress. For most men, temple recession is the first place where male pattern baldness strikes, and you can never be sure that the crown won't follow. I do agree though that a bit of recession is not necessarily a terrible thing. It can look more masculine than a very low, adolescent hairline.

Finasteride and Rogaine can both help at the temples/hairline, they are just less effective there than they are at the crown/vertex, and were originally only tested for that region of the scalp (and therefore the marketing literature could not claim effectiveness at the frontal region). Getting a transplant on the cheap in Thailand could be the worst mistake a man could make. If taking that route extensive research is essential.
