7 month crown transplant progress update | minoxidil since Jan, finasteride since June

Hair transplant done on Nov 19, 2025.

Current routine:

Topical minoxidil foam 5% twice daily since Jan 10, 2026

Finasteride 1 mg daily since June 12, 2026

Microneedling once weekly

I’m a 28-year-old male. My hairline has improved well, but the crown was my main weak area before surgery and is still the area lagging behind.

Posting a timeline of crown photos from Jan to June for progress reference. I know the crown usually takes longer than the hairline, so I’m mainly trying to compare my progress to others who had crown work done.

Main questions:

Does this look within the normal range for around 7 months post-transplant?

Does the crown look like it’s still maturing, or does it seem behind schedule?

For people who had crown transplants, did you notice meaningful thickening between months 7 and 12?
