Minoxidil and hair transplants

Is it worth giving up minoxidil before a hair transplant to ensure all new hair isn’t minoxidil-dependent? I only want to have a transplant once in my life, I’d like to avoid going back in a few years once my min-dependent hair has faded.

Hair grown with minoxidil requires that you stay on it. I tell my hair transplant patients to stop the day before the hair transplant and restart one week later. This way, the benefits of minoxidil remain.
