Will the regular hair that is growing around a transplanted hair still grow or does it die because of the transplanted hair. Also, does Propecia help protect those hairs?

Answer: Native hair growth after hair transplantation
The answer to this is yes and now. IF you are young (under 26) and male and have a hair transplant without taking the drug finasteride, you might develop shock loss which will accelerate the hairs that are miniaturized and in the process of being lost. Minoxidil does not impact normal hair.

The donor hair will only grow at the recipient site. If you do the procedure with the modern technology, then there is no residual scar or evidence of donor extraction which is the beauty of the new technology. There's no incision, no scar, and no pain! Best of luck,
