Harry,
Basically, if the meds prove to be ineffective, your hairloss will continue. Why? Because MPB is indeed a progressive disease, meaning it does not cease. It is a genetic predisposition.
The trauma of the surgery can cause shockloss to the exisiting weak hair, especially if it is in a diffussed state. The surgery can also advance the rate of loss in the neighboring areas such as the hair behind your temporal points where you have grafts placed. It can put you in a position of having to start to chase your hairloss with more and more surgery.
Now, if the hairloss in your family history is not in the advanced classes, say beyond class 4, then you may very well be okay because you should have enough donor to fill in limited missing areas of loss.
It's when the meds don't work and yet the patient has vast potential to lose far more hair than his donor can provide.
