Anyone with any advice would be greatly appreciated

Not necessarily. Pics?

As long as you dedicate yourself to medications and ensure that your recession has stopped, you can never be too young for a transplant, especially if you're willing to be conservative enough.

There are no hard and fast rules about age. It's tough to provide quality advice without photos.

I had mine done just before my 27th birthday.

 

This was a question I asked David (when he worked there) from H&W before I had mine done. Much like the other posters, he told me there is no 'magic age' and it largely depends on the stability and extent of your hair loss. I had been on meds for over 18 months and my situation had stabilised, plus my hair loss wasn't that extreme.

 

There was also the factor that I had a good donor supply of sufficient quality, which could come in handy in future if i ever need some more work, although obviously I am hoping it doesn't come to this.

There are a number of factors to evaluate in addition to age that would best determine one's candidacy for a HT procedure, some of which Tj mentioned.
