Fourteen cases of complications from implantation of acrylic fibers into scalps for correction of male-pattern baldness were studied. The complications were severe enough in all of them to force attempts to remove the fibers, many of which from the nature of their knotted insertion could not be extracted. Thus, immediate complications were encountered and serious, delayed, bad effects are anticipated. Among the early complications already observed are marked edema of the face; hemorrhagic oozing; microbial infection; foreign-body reactions; scarring; acneform comedones and pustules; pain, pruritus, and numbness; and loss of natural hair. Complications in the furture are likely to be progressive sclerosis from irretrievable fragments and knots of the artificial materials and conceivably malignant degeneration of tissues of the scalp. For all of these known and possible bad effects, implantation of present-day synthetic fibers into the scalp must be judged to be a dangerous practice that must be stopped at once.
对14例因植入丙烯酸纤维至头皮以矫正男性型秃发而出现并发症的病例进行了研究。所有病例的并发症都严重到足以促使尝试取出纤维，但由于其打结植入的特性，许多纤维无法取出。因此，既出现了即刻并发症，且严重，预计还会有延迟的不良影响。已观察到的早期并发症包括面部明显水肿；出血渗出；微生物感染；异物反应；瘢痕形成；粉刺样丘疹和脓疱；疼痛、瘙痒和麻木；以及自然脱发。未来的并发症可能是由于人工材料无法取出的碎片和结导致的进行性硬化，并且可以想象头皮组织会发生恶性变性。鉴于所有这些已知的和可能的不良影响，将当今的合成纤维植入头皮必须被判定为一种危险的做法，必须立即停止。
