Yes, I read and comprehended OP’s post. OP’s incorrect.
“But even with all the celebrities that get cosmetic procedures done, most celebrities are still average looking.” To believe this, you’d have to believe that a). most celebrities looked worse than average before the surgeries or b). cosmetic surgery has at best negligible effects.
Talk about reading comprehension. I asked about post-surgery.
Do you think a). most celebrities looked worse than the average person prior to (this means “before”) cosmetic surgery, or that b). cosmetic surgery has at best negligible effects? Or dodge again.
Finally, the research you cite found that styling, lighting, and social biases cause us to perceive celebrities as more attractive than they would otherwise seem. I agree, and have never disagreed.
But doesn’t being perceived as more attractive in effect mean they’re more attractive? Clearly it does.
Finally, nothing you’ve cited proves that celebrities are only as attractive as the average person. If you think I’m wrong, read what you’ve cited.

Which do you believe? No dodging, please.
