Hair Transplant- Shock Loss?

JCHAN54
Does placing donor hair close to or around other hairs (that will potentially fall out) increase the risk that both the native hair and donor hair will both be susceptible to permanent shock loss such as in the yellow triangle of the picture? I was wondering if thickening that area was possible. Lastly,I have developed terrible dandruff in the last 12 months after 8 years of using minoxidil. Is minoxidil with glycerin just as effective? I have read it does not allow for as much penetration.
