Brandi Glanville Doesn't Believe Dr. Dubrow Is The Right Man To Fix Her Swollen Face

Brandi Glanville will not be relying on Dr. Terry Dubrow's expertise to fix her facial problems as she rejects his offer to help.

While some might argue the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star falls under the "Botched" clientele with her concerning swollen features, she does not believe the renowned plastic surgeon is the right choice.

Brandi Glanville's facial issues caught Dr. Terry Dubrow's eye weeks earlier, and he offered to help her treat it. He suspected she suffered from dangerous microorganisms, but the recovery time he estimated was too much for the media personality to bear.

During the December 29 episode of her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast, the former Bravolebrity confirmed she recently met with Dubrow to discuss possible treatments for her facial disfigurement. The plastic surgeon had a plan, but it would take "five years" before Glanville could fully recover.

She noted the recovery time was too much for her to endure, confessing that her facial problems had significantly impacted her social and sex life for over a year. "Five years is way too long for me to wait," Glanville said, per PEOPLE, adding:

"I have sh-t to do. I have places to go, people to make out with. I have not had sex since last October. I haven't kissed [or] made out with anyone. I haven't socialized, really."

Glanville praised Dubrow as a "lovely man;" however, she believed he was not the right doctor for her. She explained that she wanted a second opinion, preferably a more in-depth medical assessment, to understand the cause of her facial problems.

"I want to run tests, and I wanna get another MRI and another CAT scan and do all the things. I wanna get to the bottom of this. I just don't wanna guess at what it is," Glanville said. She noted she had spoken to multiple doctors but was no closer to finding the root of her problems.

"I have four different opinions from these four different great doctors of what it could possibly be. So if they're perplexed, I'm perplexed, and there is no answer right now, you know? That's it," she explained.

Although Glanville expressed frustration about her facial disfigurement, she joked that she had "50 good years" to enjoy her features. She also addressed going public with her issues in 2023, claiming it took significant pressure off her because she no longer had to hide.

When Glanville revealed her facial swelling last year, she noted it was due to stress-induced angioedema. Earlier this month, she claimed it could have been caused by a parasite and blamed Bravo for the incident.

The entertainer suspected the problem started while filming the "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip."

"We had food sitting out for hours on end, and some of it was meat. Six months after I got back from Morocco, I started having this speaking thing and the swelling up thing. It started in July, and we're still here trying to figure it out," she explained.

Glanville added that she publicized her condition because she was tired of fans' speculations about her face. She noted that her facial fillers had been dissolved and denied her swelling coming from botched plastic surgery.

"I'm so sick of the narrative that I'm sitting around having plastic surgery all the time. First of all, I couldn't afford it if I wanted it," the former Bravolebrity lamented, adding:

"This is why I'm sitting at home. This is why I'm not on red carpets. Because I don't want to go out like this."

"Everyone thinks I'm so tough, but I'm fragile right now. It's a very fragile time for me. I don't remember a day when I haven't cried. So leave me the f— alone," Glanville told conspiracy theorists.

Weeks earlier, The Blast shared that Dubrow had shared his thoughts on Glanville's situation during a chat with the paparazzi. He believed her distorted features did not come from a parasite but from two types of dangerous microorganisms.

The plastic surgeon stressed that the podcaster must see a doctor immediately for a proper diagnosis. He described her condition as a "ticking time bomb," noting the longer the microorganisms stayed in her body, the more damage they would cause.

Dubrow claimed these microorganisms would become more challenging to remove with time, causing more scars and nodules in Glanville's body. He told the "RHOBH" alum to contact him, expressing willingness to save her from her facial problems.
