Brandi Glanville Is Unrecognizable in New Photo Showing Swollen Face Amid Health Crisis

As Brandi Glanville continues to share her mysterious health struggle, support is pouring in from fans and medical professionals alike.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently opened up about dealing with a condition causing significant disfigurement to her face over the past year. She explained in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that an unidentified "parasite" could be to blame. After spending $70,000 on doctors and tests, Glanville still doesn't have a definitive diagnosis.

"I feel like it’s s----ing or having babies in my face," she said of the "parasite," adding, "This is a horrible thing to say but even if it’s like a tumor, I want to know. I want to have just an answer...that would be amazing.”

A vulnerable selfie Glanville, 52, shared on Instagram this week showed severe facial swelling.

"It all started with a fun girls trip to the Hamptons with @phaedraparks @adrianeschwartz & @gretchenrossi ... to learn more tune into my next podcast @brandiunfiltered 💕💕💕be kind to people," she captioned her post.

Glanville's followers were quick to show their concern.

"Oh Brandi I’m sorry this is happening to you, I can’t imagine how hard it is. :( I hope you find peace and figure out what going on. ❤️," one fan wrote.

"You’re still gorgeous Brandi!! Even more so because you’re being so vulnerable and transparent about what you’ve been through and are still going through. I admire your courage and wishing you all the best. Thank you for sharing your journey - the good AND the bad - with your fans all these years. You’re a real one, and you have all my support," a second person commented.

"I am so sorry for what you are going through.. hang in there and ignore the haters!!!! Ur gonna get better! Ur beautiful!!!," someone else shared.

This week, Glanville's case caught the attention of Botched star Dr. Terry Dubrow, who told TMZ that he would be willing to help her out—and that he didn't think a parasite was to blame.

“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,” Dubrow said. “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.”

“She has to figure out if there’s a microorganism in there,” he continued. “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.”

“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,” the doctor 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.”
