Is Propecia Required To Keep Transplanted Hair? – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

If I get a hair transplant do I need to take propecia to keep that transplanted hair from falling out or it will it be permanent?

The transplanted hair should be permanent if it is taken from the permanent zone (called the donor area)… and as long as you don’t have any underlying disease that causes hair loss in that area, such as alopecia areata. Propecia (finasteride) should be used by men to halt further loss in the non-transplanted area and to prevent shock loss from the surgery. But otherwise, the transplanted hair doesn’t need Propecia to stay in there.
