The French Health Ministry recommended Friday that women with breast implants reported to contain substandard silicone should get them removed, a ruling that affects 30,000 women in France and raises questions for thousands more in other countries.
The ministry said that the operations would be "a preventive measure without an urgent nature" but would be paid for by the French national health system. Replacements also would be paid for if the original implants had been part of reconstruction, such as after cancer surgery, but not if they were done for cosmetic reasons, it said.

Beauty trick: Use blue eye makeup to amp up your bedroom eyes.
Break out of a black-and-gray eye makeup rut by swapping in a navy eyeshadow for a more subtle and sophisticated smoky eye. Apply color to both your lid and lower lash line, then gently blend. (Hint: Remove any dark shadow from your brow bone with a Q-tip to avoid verging into Snooki territory.) To steal Jessica Szohr’s look, try Maybelline Eye Studio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow in Sapphire Siren.
Beauty trick: Flash him your sexy—and bright!—smile. A killer smile is always a foolproof way to get his attention. To brighten up your teeth, try Crest 3D Whitestrips, and highlight the apples of your cheeks with a glowy cream blush, like Eva Mendes does here. Our pick for a peachy shade like hers: Josie Maran Cream Blush in Coral. Now show him that gorgeous grin! |
Beauty trick: Add some strategic shimmer to the chest. Not all of us are blessed with Halle Berry’s gorgeous bod, but we can steal her sparkly secret! Dust shimmer—not heavy glitter—on the top of your décolletage, in a capital T shape. (Even Victoria's Secret models use this sexy trick!) |
Beauty trick: Make your lips extra kissable. A fire-engine red lipstick will definitely make him do a double take, but leaving your mark all over his face will likely remind him of his over-affectionate aunt—probably not the impression you were trying to leave. To get lip color that lasts, layer different textures, says makeup pro Gucci Westman. Apply a stain first, like Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Flame, swipe a matching lipstick on top, then add another coat of stain. Unless you kiss and tell, your lips (or rather, your lipstick) will be sealed! |
