In December, Dubrow told TMZ that he believes Glanville's facial issues are not a parasite or from something she ate, but “an infectious process or a foreign body reaction to something she's had injected."

He suggested that Glanville could be dealing with a type of bacterial infection. “There are these two kinds of microorganisms, one's called a Microbacterium and the other is called a fungus, and they can be very difficult to treat and could take six to 12 months of antibiotics to treat,” he continued.

Dubrow called Glanville’s facial issues a “ticking time bomb” that requires "surgical intervention” soon.

“Every minute the microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage she could suffer worse for it. It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules,” he concluded.

Glanville responded that she has “zero drama” with the plastic surgeon and expressed her appreciation for any help she can get. “We have been in touch and plan to talk thank you for all the love," she wrote on X.

"All fillers that were in my face have been dissolved. I have seen all the best doctors at Cedar Sinai and all the doctors they referred me to💕," Glanville added.

At the time, Glanville revealed that she spent “over $70,000” trying to find a resolution to the unknown “parasite” that’s caused her facial disfigurement over the past year. However, every treatment she’s tried has only been a temporary fix.

“I’ve been on meds this whole year. I don’t socialize,” the reality star. “I don’t go out and I’m just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what’s wrong with me.”
