There is always research being performed on hair loss as the medical community works to find new restoration methods.

It is not necessary to use finasteride after a hair transplant but there are many people who continue to use the medication for maintenance purposes of their "native hair" (as opposed to the transplanted hair).

Hair transplants are normally very successful, and the results are permanent. One of the main risks I can share about going to another country is that the medical standards are often not as strict in other countries so there is a chance of the medical facilities not being as clean or advanced. Plus, it is not easy to visit your doctor if there is any type of medical emergency once you return to the United States.
