Brandi Glanville, a star from NBC’s Bravo TV reality show “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” has shocked fans with her recent facial appearance. A plastic surgeon described her face as a “ticking time bomb.” Dr. Terry Dubrow, a plastic surgeon who examined Glanville’s face, urged her to seek medical help as potential damage could worsen rapidly.
Dr. Dubrow expressed doubt about Glanville’s claim that parasites were the cause and emphasized the importance of getting an accurate diagnosis to address the underlying problem. He suggested that the issue might not be food-related but could involve an infection or a foreign body reaction to injections. He criticized the lack of a concrete diagnosis and treatment plan from her doctors, noting that an infection with bacteria or fungi could be very difficult to treat.
Glanville later posted on her social media, saying she was in contact with her doctors and had met with all recommended specialists. She also revealed that she had dissolved all her facial fillers.
Previously, on December 8th, Glanville shared a selfie showing a lumpy and swollen face with the caption “Sick it!” without further explanation. She later mentioned that she had been visiting numerous doctors over the past year and had spent nearly $70,000 trying to figure out her condition. Some doctors suggested she had parasites moving around her face, while others attributed the swelling to stress.
Despite hospital visits, Glanville remarked that she still hadn’t received a definitive diagnosis, which continues to cause concern. Her symptoms first appeared in October 2023, when she fainted from facial swelling and was hospitalized. A source noted that since the start of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip,” Glanville has been under immense stress, entangled in conflicts with cast members and networks. In July, she expressed feelings of misery and depression due to her health issues.
