Beard and hair transplant and staying on finasteride

For those of you who have gotten hair transplants, do you still have to take fin to maintain it? I’m assuming your scalp would still be attacking the new follicles. I can’t take fin because it gave me some nasty side effects so I want to see if it’s effective without it. If not, for those who got beard transplants, what are your thoughts on it? I have really bad facial hair growth and don’t want to look like an egg when I finally lose the rest of my hair. I would appreciate information like prices and especially for the beard transplant, how much of your face were they able to cover and do you like the way it looks? I’d appreciate any advice I can get.

Hair loss is a progressive process. Most of my patients take finasteride if they are younger when they get a hair transplant to stop the progression of the balding. Finasteride isn’t needed for beard hair.
