Heidi Pratt Heidi Montag, now named Heidi Pratt after her marriage, is one of many celebrities known for getting plastic surgery. The procedures she has received include many beyond those studied in the research below. heidipratt on Instagram
Of course, not all people who get plastic surgery do so to look more attractive, but that's the major reason behind these procedures in particular.
The researchers gave independent evaluators a random assortment of photos. The evaluators were supposed to guess the ages of the people in the photos and rate their attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10. No single evaluator would get before and after photos of the same person, which 1.) ensured the evaluators wouldn't deduce the study's aim and 2.) makes sense because few people see you with a before picture next to your face after you've gotten plastic surgery.
The researchers, a team of face and head surgeons in Canada and the U.S., found that on average, evaluators said the "after" photos looked three years younger than the same person's "before" photo. The differences in perceived age ranged from four years older to nearly nine and a half years younger. On average, patients' attractiveness scores were slightly higher, but the difference wasn't enough to count as statistically significant.
