Brandi Glanville is accepting Dr. Terry Dubrow’s help amid her health issues.
Glanville, 52, has experienced abnormal facial swelling that she claims could be due to “face parasites.” However, Dubrow, 66, stated that he doesn’t believe that to be the case.
“I saw one of her interviews and I’ve seen the picture of her, the one where she is swollen, the one where she is really deflated with the irregular skin,” the Botched doctor told TMZ on Thursday, December 12. “Here’s the thing, here’s what Brandi really needs to focus on… and it’s not her fault, it’s her doctor’s fault. Brandi needs a diagnosis.”
Dubrow delivered a message to Glanville via TMZ, offering to assist if needed.
Brandi Glanville shared that parasites have been the cause of her recent health issue. “Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 52, said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Tuesday, December 10. “I ran […]
The reality star acknowledged his offer on Friday, December 13.
“I have zero drama with @DrDubrow I appreciate all the help I can get,” she wrote via X, adding a prayer hands emoji. “We have been in touch and plan to talk thank you for all the love. All fillers that were in my face have been dissolved. I have seen all the best doctors at [Cedars-Sinai]” and “all the doctors they referred me to.”
Glanville has been candid about her health setback. She previously shared a photo of her facial deformities and revealed she’s spent $70,000 seeking a cause.
“Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000,” she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Tuesday, December 10. “I ran every test under the sun.… They’re like, ‘It could be a parasite.’ That’s, you know, new.”
Brandi Glanville is silencing rumors about the health issues she’s been facing this year. After posting a video via Instagram earlier this week declaring she’s back on Cameo, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, 52, shared a selfie via X Saturday, December 7, clarifying that her health struggles were still ongoing. “Guys this is […]
Glanville explained that before a doctor theorized she potentially contracted a parasite, she experienced “swelling” and was “unable to speak.” When she sought out treatment, some medical professionals suggested the issue may have been due to old face fillers that were dissolving. But Glanville stated that she hadn’t done fillers in a while and her older fillers had already dissolved.
Initially, Glanville pegged the source as food poisoning in Morocco while filming The Real Housewives: The Ultimate Girls Trip.
Glanville told ET that she’s felt a parasite move under her face. If Glanville “messes with it,” she said, it will jump around to a different area and will look like “tiny bubbles bursting” on her skin.

“She has to figure out if there’s a microorganism in there,” Dubrow told TMZ. “It’s not going to be a parasite, it’s not going to be something she ate, it’s going to be from something that got into her bloodstream.”
Dubrow shared his concern about what could happen to Glanville if she doesn’t get a diagnosis as soon as possible.
“She’s like a ticking time bomb. Every minute that that microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage, she could suffer worse for it,” Dubrow added. “It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules. So Brandi needs a diagnosis. She probably needs a surgical intervention to get a piece of tissue and figure out what’s going on.”
