has revealed that her facial disfigurement was actually the result of damaged breast implants that led to an infection.

She previously insisted  by 'parasites' she caught in Morocco in 2023 filming The : Ex-Wives Club 2.

Glanville spent over $130,000 to try to fix the issue, at one point even trying to cure herself with hair removal cream and burning her face in the process.

However last summer she revealed she had consulted infectious disease immunology physician Michael R. Scoma in and possibly found a solution.

Although she did not disclose the diagnosis he gave her, she proudly posted photos of herself in his office with her face in dramatically better condition.

Now, however, she has discovered the real source of the problem was a breast augmentation she underwent 18 years ago, and so she has gone under the knife again to have the implants taken out in what Inside Edition called 'life-saving surgery.'

Brandi Glanville has revealed that her facial disfigurement was actually the result of ruptured breast implants that led to an infection 

Now she has gone under the knife again to have the implants taken out by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ariel Ourian, as seen on Inside Edition

She explained that she 'definitely had a parasite,' but her implants were also 'completely ruptured' such that she 'had silicone all over my lymph nodes,' via TMZ.

The silicone was 'what caused the infection in my face, and it couldn't get out because my lymph nodes were all clogged,' according to Glanville.

However this summer she revealed she had gone to infectious disease immunology physician Michael R. Scoma in New York City, and in August she debuted her new face online (pictured) 

However he shared he was 'concerned' she could be the victim of either an 'infectious process' or a 'foreign-body reaction to something she's had injected.'

In the course of trying to restore her face to normality, she hemorrhaged $130,000, visited more than 20 doctors and plunged into medical debt.

'My insurance was like, "Nothing’s wrong with you. It’s just inflammation and old filler,"' she said in August, adding that the doctors also did not 'believe' her about the 'crazy lumps' that had been afflicting her face.

'I’m paying the minimum on my credit cards. I’ve exhausted my savings,' said Glanville, who shares her sons Mason, 22, and Jake, 18, with her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian, who infamously left her for his current wife LeAnn Rimes.

'At my age, I feel like such a loser in a way, because I was taking care of everything.  I was together. I had great credit. Now I’m scared about every little thing.' 

In order to try and contest some of the charges her insurance refused to pick up, she enlisted the services of healthcare strategist Rachel Strauss, who calls herself the PBM Princess, with the acronym standing for Pharmacy Benefit Managers.
