Hi, I am 28 years old and starting to get a receding hairline. I do have thick hair, and I do not have any bold spots. Is it possible to do a hair transplant and fix the areas marked in a red circle? And also, is it possible to add more hairs to my patchy beard on one side in the same procedure? Can I still wait till my 30's to do something with it or is it best to do the treatment now?
