In a revelation that’s turned heads across celeb-land, Brandi Glanville has opened up about a shocking twist in her ongoing health saga. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star disclosed on her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast that she has a benign tumor in her face. This comes amid her battle with a mysterious facial parasite that's had fans and doctors stumped.
The 53-year-old reality star explained that the tumor, nestled in one of her facial lymph nodes, had been a mystery for quite some time. "Mama found out that I have a benign tumor in one of my lymph nodes in my face," she revealed, sharing the frustration of being dismissed by doctors who initially chalked it up to mere scar tissue. "I’m like, from what? I haven’t had a facelift yet," she questioned, highlighting a common oversight in the medical field.
“I have this lump over here. And every doctor that I’ve shown, they’re like, ‘it’s just scar tissue’,” she said.
Glanville has taken her followers on this tumultuous health journey since 2023, revealing a surprising twist: the root cause of her issues was related to her breast implants. She initially suspected a parasite from her time filming in Morocco, but it turned out silicone from her ruptured implants was to blame. "I had silicone all over my lymph nodes," she told TMZ, adding that the blockage caused the infection that distorted her face.
After seeing 21 doctors, the diagnosis left Glanville "shocked" as she realized how her 20-year-old implants were the unseen culprits. Her experience is a cautionary tale about the importance of regular medical check-ups, particularly for implants. "You really should change your breast implants every 10 years," she advised, reflecting on the painful lesson she learned from an issue she initially thought was a broken record, yet turned out to be a life-altering health wake-up call.
