Brazil’s FIFA World Cup campaign might have ended in disappointment, but Vinicius Junior is making headlines off the pitch. Images published across Brazilian media show the Real Madrid winger looking noticeably different following a reported chin harmonisation procedure in Goiania.

Reports indicate the 26-year-old sought greater facial definition shortly after returning home from the tournament. As the forward prepares to rejoin his club for pre-season training in the coming days, the striking change to his profile has quickly caught the attention of fans and observers alike.

WHAT IS A CHIN HARMONISATION SURGERY?

Chin harmonisation (often called chin reshaping or profile harmonisation) refers to a tailored combination of surgical or non-surgical procedures designed to alter the size, shape, position, or projection of the chin to bring it into balance with the rest of the face - particularly the nose, lips, and jawline.

Rather than focusing solely on the chin in isolation, practitioners evaluate the face using vertical thirds and horizontal profile lines to determine whether the chin needs to be augmented, reduced, advanced, or smoothed.

HOW DID VINICIUS PLAY IN WORLD CUP?

Vinicius Jr. endured a disappointing FIFA World Cup campaign, failing to make a significant impact once the knockout stages began as Brazil crashed out in the Round of 16 against Erling Haaland's Norway. The five-time champions had progressed from the group stage with wins over Haiti and Scotland. Playing against Morocco, Vinicius saved Brazil from losing the game, where he scored the 32nd-minute equaliser after Achraf Hakimi's side had put Brazil under immense pressure.

Brazil then eased past Japan in the Round of 32, but their campaign came to a painful end against Norway. Haaland struck twice in the final 15 minutes to complete a dramatic win and send the tournament favourites packing much earlier than expected.
