Do I have to take propecia for life after a hair transplant? - Bald Truth Talk - Hair Loss, Hair Transplant and Hair Restoration Community

I have a question for the doctors on this site or another expert. Assuming that I am a good candidate for hair transplant surgery, and everything goes well, would I have to continue taking Propecia for the rest of my life to maintain my transplanted hair?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I had to continue to use Propecia for life after I have a hair transplant. Is it really necessary?

Thanks in advance!

Winston,

As long as you have any natural or native hair left to save, you'll need the medication.

Propecia is recommended for those who want to maintain the hair they have. Once a person stops taking Propecia, they can loose the hair Propecia has helped them maintain. Propecia would not be recommended for hair that has been transplanted; since transplanted hair is relatively permanent.
