Brazilian outlet TMC Esporte reported that Vinicius underwent the procedure at a clinic in Goiânia, Brazil, shortly after Brazil's exit from the 2026 World Cup.
The report, carried by California Post, said the treatment involved fillers used to sculpt and define the jawline.
Several photos and videos of the 26-year-old have since circulated online, with fans debating just how different his new look is compared to his appearance during the tournament.

Vinicius shared the image on his Instagram account around 6:30 pm on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, showing him resting his chin on his fist while seated on a large cream-coloured armchair.
He is pictured with a composed, neutral expression, with framed jerseys, including one bearing the name "Barbosa" and the number 19, visible on the wall behind him.

Vinicius did not include any caption addressing the speculation directly, leaving the post open to interpretation.
