If I decide on a meds-free hair transplant without minox/fin, what key aspects should be considered in designing the transplant?

Conservative hairline and leaving donor hair for future work make obvious sense, but is it also possible to plan the distribution of hair so strategically as to factor in the expected future loss of someone not on meds? Can it be done so artfully that even if most native hair is eventually lost, the remaining implanted hair on top can exist in its own pattern that will appear natural without the support of the lost native hair? (Asking generally, but I'm between Norwood 2/3 +widows peak. Age 32)
