The intervention drew attention because Alarcão traveled from Miami to attend to Vinícius and his partner, influencer Virginia Fonseca. According to information released by the Brazilian outlet, the clinic closed for the entire day. Staff were also asked to avoid taking photos and videos of the procedure.

The first images of Vinícius’s new appearance circulated Monday night. First, a video was posted by Salah Eddine Rhnim, known as Scarfade, based in Milan. Afterward, clips from fans showing the striker signing autographs were shared.
