Brandi Glanville undergoes 4 biopsies by Dr. Terry Dubrow to figure out cause of facial disfigurement

5 hours ago 2

Brandi Glanville tapped “Botched” star Dr. Terry Dubrow to help get to the bottom of her facial disfigurement.

On Wednesday, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum revealed that Dubrow removed small samples of tissue from her face to determine the cause of her health issues.

“Yes guys @DrDubrow took 4 tiny biopsy’s from my face and neck so we can continue to get better 💕ez pz no pain I was in and out on 30 minutes now we wait🙏🙏🙏🙏,” Glanville wrote on X.

The tweet came one day after Dubrow told TMZ he was planning to operate on Glanville, who was experiencing discomfort due to the mystery illness.

Dubrow, 66, said it would require a series of tests to get an exact diagnosis but felt optimistic they were moving in the right direction.

While he praised Glanville for her bravery, she also had nothing but great things to say about her experience working with the doctor thus far.

Given his background in medical mysteries, Glanville told the outlet that working with Dubrow was a no-brainer. She and Dubrow connected last month to discuss their plan of attack — which included potential surgery.

The former “RHOBH” star, 52, had exhausted nearly all of her other resources before turning to Dubrow — testing different steroids, antibiotics and antiviral medications to no avail.

Glanville spent “over $70,000” trying to find a resolution, with some doctors suggesting she had “a parasite that jumps around [her] face” while others believed it was “stress-induced” angioedema.

However, in December, Dubrow told TMZ that he wasn’t convinced the disfigurement was due to a parasite but rather “something that got into her bloodstream.”

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

“Every minute that that microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage, she could suffer worse for it,” he continued.

Dubrow called her condition a “ticking time bomb,” noting that it “could become more difficult to treat” and lead to “more scars and more nodules” if not taken care of quickly.

While some people took Dubrow’s comments as shade, Glanville later clarified that she has “zero drama” with the doctor.

“I appreciate all the help I can get 🙏,” she tweeted.

Around the same time, Glanville told Page Six she would do “anything” to finally get answers about her condition.

“You could do anything you want to me, and I’d be OK with it,” she said, adding that she “so desperately” wants to close this chapter.

“It’s depressing. It just hurts my brain and my heart,” the “Traitors” alum confessed.

“The pain is more mental than anything, because I have been hiding and going through a deep, deep depression. Even if I could work now, at this point, I couldn’t. So it’s just been a really rough two years for me.”
