According to the report, 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. According to a report by the Brazilian website "TMC", the clinic in question rolled out exceptional security measures to protect the privacy of Brazilian star Vinicius Junior.
Bosses banned staff from taking photographs, recording video clips or publishing any details of Vinicius's visit, all to keep the matter out of the media for as long as possible.
Vinícius Júnior did not undergo "surgery"
Back to the "cosmetic procedure" itself. Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian winger of Spanish giants Real Madrid, went under the knife using the latest techniques to sculpt his facial features and highlight the chin area in a natural way, according to "TMC".
These techniques involve no surgical work at all, the website stressed, which is why they've become hugely popular among football stars and athletes in general.
