Brandi Glanville's Face Off: Explorer Surgery for Mystery Ailment

Reality star Brandi Glanville is scheduled for an exploratory surgery on her face, described as a "power wash under my skin," to address what she believes is "something alive" beneath the surface. The procedure, performed by facial plastic surgeon Dr. Carlo Honrado, aims to locate and remove the source of a four-year health battle that started on her cheek and jawbone and has since spread throughout her body.

Glanville, 53, expressed both excitement and extreme fear due to the intensive nature of the surgery, which she heard is more involved than a facelift. She suspects she contracted a parasite after visiting Morocco in 2023, although initial diagnoses included angioedema and later, resistant bacteria and fungal infections. The financial toll has been devastating, with Glanville having spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, depleting her savings and 401(k) on medical treatments, including daily IVs estimated to cost between $3,300 and $6,000 monthly.

Seeking financial relief and a return to her health, Glanville recently competed on "Special Forces." She shared her frustration with the U.S. medical system, stating that creditors have been calling her daily despite having insurance. Her primary goal remains clear: to eradicate the illness from her body and reclaim her life.
