The attempt to correct this problem in the young age is hair transplantation surgery which will cover additional balding, thinning or receding spots. I would also recommend you a consultation with an experienced hair transplantation surgeon that will determine a plan of action for you.

That is a question that needs to be answered medically speaking between you and the surgeon who will be doing the transplant. At 21 you can be in the final throes of puberty and for this reason a doctor may wish to wait until puberty is over before doing a procedure such as this.
If there is no medical reason for not doing the procedure I see no reason other than financial for not getting a hair transplant. This is considered cosmetic surgery and most insurance companies will not pay for this.
If money is not the problem and you are suffering from premature balding I would say go for it. If the transplant is successful and most are. The end result will be a better self-esteem and more self-confidence. This can only work in your favor.
A word of caution before undergoing this procedure. Make sure the doctor doing the procedure is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery. In most states any doctor who has had a residency in Plastic surgery is allowed to perform this type surgery. A board certified Plastic Surgeon is someone who has taken the next step and served a fellowship in Plastic Surgery and completed all the requirements for Board Certification. This provides for a better chance at a great outcome.
As for financing many Surgeons who perform this surgery have financing available. Read the fine print of the finance papers before you sign if you use this option. The finance rate can be extremely high as it is hard for the finance company to reposes your hair making this a high risk finance for them. You may do better with a personal loan from a bank or finance company.
