Says a 50-year-old real estate broker who underwent an implant: "Your entire scalp feels spongy, with a layer of pus underneath. The bleeding and itching drive you crazy. You wake up and find the pillow covered with blood." Natural hair may fall out too. Correcting the damage can take years. The fibers must be removed, and antibiotics taken to control infection.
