Brandi Glanville, former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, made her first public appearance since revealing that she had all her facial fillers dissolved. The 52-year-old attended Twitch streamer Amouranth’s Winter Wonderland birthday party in Burbank, donning a festive leopard-accented Santa hat, a matching furry coat, a black dress, and thigh-high boots. Her outing follows months of public speculation about her health and appearance after sharing photos of her altered facial features.
The Journey to Addressing Facial Disfigurement
Glanville’s decision to dissolve her fillers comes after a turbulent year of health complications. In a candid interview, she revealed that her facial disfigurement could be related to a possible parasite, stress-induced angioedema, or an infection caused by past cosmetic procedures. Earlier this month, she shocked fans by posting photos of her face, showing both swollen and sunken cheeks, which left her nearly unrecognizable.
Brandi Glanville sparks concern from fans in new photo:
“What happened? I wish I knew I've been in &out of the hospital this passed year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.'s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it's stress… pic.twitter.com/A3TPeOKvXA— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) December 8, 2024Advertisement
Dr. Terry Dubrow, a renowned plastic surgeon and star of Botched, expressed concern about Glanville’s condition, calling it a “ticking time bomb.” In an interview with TMZ, Dr. Dubrow speculated that her symptoms might stem from an infection or a foreign-body reaction to an injected substance. He emphasized the urgency of obtaining a proper diagnosis, possibly involving a tissue sample, to determine the cause and best course of treatment.
Extensive Medical Tests and Costs
Brandi Glanville has been open about the extensive medical testing she has undergone in her quest for answers. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she estimated she has spent over $70,000 on various procedures and lab tests, including $10,000 for a single round of lab work. Despite seeing multiple specialists, including at Cedars-Sinai, she admitted the exact cause of her condition remains elusive.

She suspects her health issues could be linked to a potential parasite contracted during a trip to Morocco while filming a reality show. “Six months after I got back… the swelling started,” she explained. Glanville shared that she has been undergoing treatments, including a “cell sound procedure” with Dr. Nicholas Nikolov.
Public Response
Brandi Glanville also addressed rumors of a feud with Dr. Dubrow, clarifying on X (formerly Twitter) that they are in contact and working together. She expressed gratitude for the support she has received but also detailed the financial and emotional toll her condition has taken. “I haven’t worked for a year and a half. I’m too depressed to do my podcast, too swollen for Cameo or OnlyFans,” she wrote.
