Inside Brandi Glanville's Life-Saving Surgery As She 'Just Wants To Be Healthy'

Brandi Glanville recently found the real cause of her facial disfigurement and went under the knife to fix the problem.

The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star has been plagued by a facial parasite that left her looking like a shadow of her old self. She initially blamed Bravo for her ailment, but a sonogram shared a different narrative.

The Blast received exclusive details of Brandi Glanville's life-saving surgery to remove the root cause of her health issues. She took cameras on the journey, detailing the whole process, but it left fans with mixed feelings.

Glanville's final journey to regain her confidence saw her undergoing surgery at Dr. Ariel Ourian's Beverly Hills clinic after a sonogram revealed the cause of her health problems. The facial parasite and multiple ailments that plagued Glanville stemmed from ruptured breast implants.

In the exclusive scoop to Glanville's before and after her surgery, in which she revealed she had been battling more than facial disfigurement. "My hair is falling out, especially on the left side. You know, I have lumps in my face, lumps in my neck," Glanville shared.

She explained that her joints were sore and she frequently felt fatigued until the sonogram revealed the rupture in her breast implants. "I just want to be healthy," Glanville told Dr. Ourian before the surgery. She also confessed to the cameras that she was "feeling petrified," as seen in the video shared by Inside Edition.

The cameras followed Dr. Ourian's operation to remove the troublesome breast implants, revealing that the biggest problem was the right silicone. The implant had completely ruptured inside Glanville's body, leaving behind a gooey mess for the doctor to clean up.

The implant was in such a bad state that Dr. Ourian had to change his gloves mid-surgery. After successfully removing the silicone left in Glanville's body with a suction equipment, the doctor proceeded to remove the left breast implant, which was in much better shape than the right.

Surprisingly, Glanville walked back her past declaration of not having any more implants in her body, as the doctor added new ones. "I think she's going to be really happy with putting in fresh new implants that have a lower risk of rupture," Dr. Ourian told cameras.

As for what happened to Glanville, Dr. Ourian explained that some patients were prone to "breast implant illness," which could affect multiple parts of the body. On that note, he stressed that it was important to remove the ruptured silicone and ensure nothing was left.

A week after the operation, Glanville returned to the clinic to rave about her results. She claimed she had noticed significant improvement in her health, noting her joints felt different and she didn't need to massage her neck all day long. Most importantly, she felt ready to return to the spotlight.

"I may have been isolating for three years. It's been hell. And now I want to live my life again. I'm ready," Glanville declared. The inside journey to reclaim her confidence sparked mixed reactions, with some fans criticizing Glanville for getting new breast implants. Meanwhile, others prayed for her swift recovery.

Glanville recently doubled down on her ruptured breast implants being the cause of her health problems. The Blast covered the story, reporting that she was spotted outside her doctor's office in Beverly Hills, looking better than ever.

The former reality TV star confirmed that her breast implants had ruptured, leaking silicone into her body and clogging her lymph nodes. The leakage eventually led to a nasty infection, which in turn caused the facial parasite that deformed Glanville's appearance.

The revelation comes nearly two years after Glanville announced her facial problems in December 2024. At the time, she shared a selfie of her disfigured face and asked for prayers before slamming Bravo on X. She argued that the stress the network caused had led to her ailment.

No one was happier than Glanville to understand the root cause of her facial problems after suffering for so long. The Blast reported in August 2025 that she had opened up about the dire state of her mental health amid her health problems.

At the time, Glanville was still hopping from one doctor to the next, trying to get a diagnosis for her facial disfigurement. She revealed that she had exhausted her savings on medical bills, drained her insurance, and overall, she felt "like such a loser."

These negative feelings, coupled with the shocking changes in her appearance, sent Glanville into a downward spiral. She confessed that she contemplated ending her life, but overcame these thoughts thanks to her children. Glanville shares two kids with her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian.

Here's to hoping Brandi Glanville has a smooth recovery.
