Can Minoxidil fill a completely bald crown? (Photo)

tiyyob
I received two HT session (2007 and 2009) for front hair line. In 2009, thinning was started at my crown but my surgeon advised me not to put hair at crown (age 29 at that time) and use minoxidil 5% for crown. Minoxidil worked for couple of years and started losing its productivity after that. I stopped it 9 months ago. Currently, my crown is almost empty (age 36, picture attached). Please suggest if I can re-start minoxidil and it can work for my situation OR I should consider another HT.
