Does vertex / crown area grow slower than other parts or is that a phenomenon?

December 21, 2018
Asked By:TyronAmanten in California, CA

I am in 9 months and got a transplant on vertex / crown / midscalp area and these parts were nearly totally bald. Right now I am in the 9th month and have good coverage while there are still thin parts on my scalp. Is it true that vertex takes longer and can grow until 12 months? What should a patient expect after 9 months for vertex transplants? Thank you.
