What to realistically expect 6 months post hair transplant?

Razzle666
I'm reaching the 6th month mark in a few days and am wondering if I should be satisfied or upset with my results thus far. My crown was completely empty prior to the transplant and, while I now see hairs, it's still "bald." I've had considerable hair growth in my hairline and mid-head section, but I have a lot of empty spots in my temples and crown area. Will new hair still penetrate the skin after 6 months?
