My side baby hairs fell out during hair transplant, and are just starting to grow back. Will Minoxidil make them fall out again?

Hello. I had a hair transplant to lower my hairline 3 months ago. I have very fine baby hairs on the sides, and they all fell out during the transplant. At 3 months, I can see that they are just starting to grow back. If I put minoxidil on these side hair areas, will it help them to grow back more quickly or would I risk having them fall out again due to the minoxidil (which I do not want)?
