Avoid or prevent native hair shock loss after FUE? Will the hair be lost forever or it will grow back?

Hi, I was reading here that is possible that native hair can fall after an FUE, and that younger people that have an FUE, have more chance to lose their original hair due a shock loss. Can you please let me know how this is possible and how to prevent or avoid it to happen? I am planning to start using minoxidil at 1 month mark from my FUE, will this help? I will probably do the same with propecia as I'd like to keep my original hair in place. Thank you
