Photos of his noticeably different appearance have since gone viral.
Vinicius Jr. had a decent campaign at the 2026 World Cup, scoring four goals for Brazil, including a brace against Scotland, before the team's exit from the tournament.
The reported procedure comes shortly after Brazil's elimination, as Vinicius Jr. now shifts his focus toward Real Madrid's pre-season under new manager Jose Mourinho.
Vinicius Jr.'s changed look goes viral
According to Brazilian outlet TMC Esporte, the surgery took place on Sunday, July 20, 2026, at a clinic in Goiânia, Brazil.
Dermatologist Dr Alessandro Alarcão reportedly carried out the procedure, which involves the use of fillers to sculpt the jawline and facial contour.
In Vini Jr.'s case, sources cited by the publication suggest he wanted to add more definition to his chin, which had drawn public commentary during the World Cup.
The report was later picked up and carried by California Post.
YEN.com.gh notes that the claims remain unverified, based solely on accounts from the Brazilian website and outlets that have since republished it.
Several photos of the 24-year-old have since appeared online, and the contrast with his pre-surgery look has caught the attention of fans worldwide.
One of the most widely shared images came from Instagram user @danilosanfoneirooficial, who appears to be part of Vini Jr.'s inner circle.
The post showed a side profile of the Brazilian star signing a Real Madrid jersey, and those familiar with his appearance will notice the difference immediately.
Vini Jr.'s ex-girlfriend, Virginia Fonseca, also posted on Instagram on Monday, showing the pair posing together at her new gym.
The photos suggest the two have reconciled after their reported break-up ahead of the World Cup, and they provided yet another close-up look at his new facial appearance.
