Brandi Glanville continues two-year battle with mysterious facial disfigurement

Brandi Glanville has provided a fresh update on her harrowing two-year health battle, which she believes stems from a "facial parasite" contracted abroad.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alumna, 53, shared a selfie showcasing a cosmetic procedure intended to help her "get ready" for the Sundance Film Festival.

The reality star has reportedly spent over $70,000 trying to fix facial disfigurements she claims began after filming in Morocco in 2023.

Glanville described the sensation as "tiny bubbles bursting" under her skin, telling ET, "I feel like it’s s---ing or having babies in my face."

While she hasn't shared an official diagnosis, she has consulted a litany of specialists, including infectious disease experts and dental surgeons, to regain her smile.

Even Botched star Dr Terry Dubrow has weighed in, suggesting the issue might be a stubborn fungal infection or "foreign body" rather than a parasite.

He warned that the condition is a "ticking time bomb," noting that "every minute the microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage she could suffer worse for it."

Despite the clinical uncertainty, Glanville appeared in high spirits at a Sundance screening in Park City, Utah, thanking her surgeon for his work with "CellSound" technology.

For a woman whose life has been lived in front of the camera, the journey to reclaim her appearance remains a deeply personal and expensive crusade against an invisible foe.
