Will taking anabolic steroids affect my FUE hair transplant? (Photos)

T S H
I got 1500 grafts for my hairline. My donor area was thin and so my surgeon could not place more (1800 was what he originally wanted to do). Will taking anabolic steroids for muscle growth affect my recipient area for hairline? I understand that they can affect my non transplanted hair but how about transplanted hair?
