Hair taken from the safer donor zone can miniaturise and die. If you’re lucky your donor won’t suffer much loss over your lifetime resulting in mainly permanent hair.

So only if you're lucky?

Some people will only lose a small amount of hair over their lifetime while others may progress to a high Norwood. Plenty of factors come into play when a doctor decides if they believe you`re a candidate. Age, current hair loss, miniaturisation etc. If you are reluctant to use hair loss meds, the risk is higher of you losing grafts sometime in the future. Even with meds you may continue to progress.
Have you had any consultations?

With FUE if #grafts > 2000-2500 then surgeon need to take grafts outside the safe area so yes these graft will probably fall without med if your aag continue.
But there are other things that finasteride with less sides so if you got sides with fina you can try other meds

What about Minoxidil?
You could have an in person consultation with a doctor to get your hair checked for miniaturisation and see if they think you would be a candidate.

Donor hair needs to be taken from the Safe donor area of scalp.
Safe/permanent donor area is that area from which no one in your family has lost any hair.
Or, it is the hair that remains in advanced Norwood 6 stage hairloss.
---------------------
But, the hair has stem cells and they are also affected by your Epigenome. An unhealthy epigenome may actually leave you with dull, lifeless, miniaturizing hair even in the permanent donor area of scalp.
So, look after your epigenome, do microneedlinig on a weekly basis (make sure there is pin point bleeding in all the areas that are treated), and use Resveratol, Grapeseed serum (/with Fisetin) for protecting and activating the stem cells.
