Google image Vinny and scroll down until you see a picture of home wearing no shirt and holding a baby and surround by three other young kids.looks like it could be at the beach.

Its an older pic but look how far back his hair line is. He was obviously thinning on the sides. Look some pics in the late 90's, his hair line is much lower. I am convinced he had hair transplants. No doubt in my mind. they are good transplants though.
Also, i see nothing wrong with hair transplants, i would do it if i started thinning out.
