FUT hair transplant: I believe I am a Norwood 5. Can I get a youthful lower hairline and cover most of my crown? (photos)

I have male pattern baldness and want to be careful for long term as I think I will continue losing hair. I currently take Finasteride and minoxidil. My hair on top is very thin. I began losing hair when I was in early 20’s and am now 43. Thank you!
