Overview
- Multiple outlets and the treating physician reported Tuesday that Vinícius Jr. underwent a chin harmonization procedure in Goiânia carried out by dermatologist Alessandro Alarcão.
- Dr. Alarcão reportedly flew from Miami to perform the treatment at Lumini Privilège and posted photos that media used to corroborate his involvement.
- The clinic closed to the public for the appointment and enforced a strict anti‑leak confidentiality protocol to try to prevent photos or videos from circulating.
- Photos and short videos shared by people close to the player, including his partner Virginia Fonseca, spread rapidly on Instagram and X and provoked widespread online reaction.
- Reports agree the change is cosmetic and is not injury related but disagree on technique because some outlets call it a non‑surgical filler harmonization while others describe a mentoplasty, and Vinícius has not publicly confirmed the procedure ahead of his planned late‑July return to Real Madrid preseason.
