Vinicius is one of the most controversial names in the world of football.

Vinicius Junior has stunned the football world with a dramatic new look after his World Cup exit with Brazil. The Real Madrid winger is barely recognisable.

Brazil crashed out of the 2026 tournament in the round of 16, beaten 2-1 by Norway. The United States, Mexico and Canada are co-hosting the finals.

Vinicius with "different features".. and this is the reason!

Brazilian star Vinicius Junior looked noticeably different in a photo posted alongside his partner on his official Instagram account.

Brazilian website "TMC" has now revealed the secret behind his changed appearance, which followed his participation with the national team at the 2026 World Cup.

According to the site, Vinicius underwent a "cosmetic procedure" to reshape his chin at a specialised clinic in the city of Goiania.

Tight Security Measures Because of Vinicius Junior

It did not end there. Brazil's "TMC" website reports that the clinic in question imposed exceptional security measures to protect the privacy of Brazilian star Vinicius Junior.

Staff could not take photographs, record videos or publish any details of Vinicius's visit, a bid to keep the matter out of the media for as long as possible.

Vinicius Junior has not undergone "surgery"

Back to that "cosmetic procedure" itself. Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior underwent the treatment using the latest techniques to sculpt his facial features and bring out the chin area in a natural way, according to the website "TMC".

None of it involves surgical work, the site stressed, and these techniques have become hugely popular among a number of football stars and athletes in general.

Vinicius Junior's numbers at the 2026 World Cup

Vinicius Junior lit up the 2026 World Cup, the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.

The Brazil forward scored four goals and laid on another across five matches with the Selecao.

His goals came against Morocco, Haiti and Scotland in the group stage. He drew a blank against Japan in the round of 32 and Norway in the round of 16.

Individual brilliance counted for little in the end. Brazil bowed out at the last-16 stage, their campaign ended by Norway.
