Fifteen days after Brazil’s World Cup exit to Norway, Vini Jr. appeared at an event in Goiânia on July 20, 2026, after receiving an aesthetic facial treatment. Alessandro Alarcão, the dermatologist who performed it, later gave gshow, Globo’s entertainment and celebrity news site, a detailed account of the work. It included a refinement of the Real Madrid forward’s chin projection.
Alarcão didn’t describe the chin work as a separate operation. He placed it within Naturalização, or facial naturalization, a method intended to improve support, balance and proportion while preserving a patient’s recognizable features. His account supports a broader facial treatment, not a confirmed case of conventional chin surgery.
The phrase chin harmonization, used in coverage of Vini Jr.’s appearance, doesn’t identify one technique by itself. Alarcão characterized his approach as minimally invasive ligament restructuring. Depending on a patient’s needs, he said it can be combined with lasers, ultrasound, radiofrequency and treatments designed to stimulate collagen.
The method’s official website presents Naturalização as a framework rather than a single fixed operation. It says Alarcão developed it with dermatologists Carlos Roberto Antonio and Guilherme Almeida and launched it in May 2022. The approach can combine device-based treatments and injectables across different facial layers, leaving room for substantial variation between patients.
Vini Jr.’s case hasn’t been disclosed in that detail. Neither Vini Jr. nor Alarcão has named an injectable product, disclosed a quantity or injection map, or identified the precise devices and treatment sequence. The price and expected duration haven’t been disclosed.
That distinction matters because genioplasty usually reshapes the chin with an implant or by altering bone. The gshow interview identifies neither step.
The photographs show appearance, not procedure
The available clinic and event photographs show Vini Jr.’s appearance around the time of the treatment. They can’t reveal the procedure on their own. The comparisons use different lighting, camera angles and grooming, all of which can change how the chin and jawline register in a tightly cropped image.
The physician’s account provides firmer evidence than a before-and-after collage. It confirms a refinement of chin projection, but it also situates that work inside a larger facial plan. Because the published account doesn’t provide a case breakdown, the visible result can’t be assigned to filler, an energy-based device, collagen stimulation or any one component.
The procedure came during the interval between Brazil’s World Cup campaign and Real Madrid’s preparations for 2026-27. Vini Jr. finished the tournament with four goals and one assist in five starts, including a two-goal performance in Brazil’s 3-0 win over Scotland.
Vini Jr. underwent a minimally invasive facial treatment that included refinement of his chin projection. The methodology can involve several technologies and injectables, but the specifics of his case remain private. The available information doesn’t establish the use of filler or a surgical procedure.
