There are no alternative to Propecia (finasteride) if you are having side effects.  If you have side effects, it is best you discuss this with your doctor for other treatment options such as topical minoxidil.

You can hide donor scar with scalp micropigmentation SMP. See video of how it looks after SMP. It is a non surgical procedure.FUE still leaves a scar and SMP can hide FUE scar as well.  It does not matter if FUE was ARTAS robot or Neograft or Manual or Drill

You can't transplant another person's hair to your scalp. Unless you they are your identical twin.  Otherwise, your body will reject it.

Not all doctors recommend topical minoxidil after hair transplant surgery.  If your doctor recommends it, then you should follow your doctor's advice.  If you do use it, and you get great results you need to continue using it to maintain the results.

You can hide hair transplant surgery signs by wearing your hair long or wearing a hat.  It all depends on how you do it, but the redness and scabs will be there for a few days. It all depend on how you wash your hair and how well you follow the post-op instructions.
