Beard and hair transplant and staying on finasteride

For those of you who have gotten hair transplants, do you still have to take fin to maintain it? I’m assuming your scalp would still be attacking the new follicles. I can’t take fin because it gave me some nasty side effects so I want to see if it’s effective without it. If not, for those who got beard transplants, what are your thoughts on it? I have really bad facial hair...
