Key Points<\/p>\n

Brandi Glanville said that the facial parasite she struggled with for years has returned.<\/p>\n

While Glanville had initially said she contracted the parasite on a Real Housewives trip to Morocco, she later blamed ruptured breast implants.<\/p>\n

The reality star noted that she’s still searching for answers \u2014 and yet another doctor.<\/p>\n

Brandi Glanville’s long struggle with a facial parasite isn’t over.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, guys,” the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said Thursday on her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered<\/a> podcast. “I thought I was fixed, and then it happened again, and now it’s sinking in again.”<\/p>\n

The reality star expressed her frustration over her condition.<\/p>\n

“If I had answers, I would tell you. I’ve been to a million doctors,” Glanville, 53, said. “The only thing that really seems to help is being out in the sun and the parasite medication and the parasite diet. And I don’t have answers. Is there a doctor that specializes in parasites? ‘Cause I can’t find one.”<\/p>\n

Glanville said that she’s connected with others in similar situations by speaking out publicly.<\/p>\n

“I have two friends that I met off this podcast because they messaged me, and they’re very helpful: Sarah and Nicole,” Glanville said. “We all have the same exact symptoms. All three of us had a lot of dental work. We all had black mold poisoning in the past.”<\/p>\n

Glanville explained in 2023 that she was dealing with a parasite in her face, which she thought was the result of eating food that was improperly stored while in Morocco filming the Real Housewives’ Ultimate Girls Trip.<\/p>\n

In February, she said that she’d found the actual culprit<\/a> after a sonogram detected that her breast implants had ruptured.<\/p>\n

“The woman [who] did the sonogram was like, ‘Brandi, you need to get those out yesterday,'” Glanville told the Daily Enquirer via In Touch<\/a>. “She’s like, ‘You have a slow leak in your left [implant] and your right [implant] is completely ruptured, and it’s in all of your lymph nodes under both arms.'”<\/p>\n

The medical technician noted to her that “whatever’s going on in your face, it can’t drain because your lymph nodes are clogged with silicone.'”<\/p>\n

Glanville said she was “shocked,” and had learned since then that implants are supposed to be changed every 10 years.<\/p>\n

“They’re implants that I’ve had for almost 20 years,” she said. “They looked fine. They felt fine. The mammogram said they were fine.”<\/p>\n

Glanville said in December 2024 that she had already spent an estimated $70,000<\/a> on the problem.<\/p>\n

She debuted a new look<\/a>, which she said she had achieved by working with a plastic surgeon, in January.<\/p>\n
