She explained that she hasn’t been in public much since developing the issue late last year, and that she hasn’t slept with or kissed anyone since 2023 on her Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast.
Brandi explained that Dubrow told her it could take five years before she would be “completely okay.”
“Five years is way too long to wait.”
The star shared that she wants to “run tests, get another MRI, another cat scan,” adding that she wants to “get to the bottom of this.”
Brandi added that she doesn’t “feel any better” and still sees “this thing jumping around in my face.”
She also said she has “four different doctors” who have given her “four different opinions on what it could possibly be.”
Brandi told ET that she has already spent $70,000 trying to determine the cause of the lumps. The star even had all her facial fillers dissolved.
This comes after Terry called Brandi’s face a “ticking time bomb.”
Dubrow shared his concerns about Glanville’s disturbing claim that her recent facial disfigurement could have been caused by a “parasite.”
The plastic surgeon stressed that Glanville’s condition could be a “ticking time bomb” and urged her in an interview to seek help from her doctors as soon as possible. TMZ.

Brandi also shared that she had a consultation with Dr. Terry Dubrow (pictured), but has decided to get a second opinion after saying it could take five years for her to be ‘completely fine’.
Dubrow added that in his opinion, the most important thing is that a doctor gives her a clear diagnosis so she can treat the root problem.
He said he was “concerned” that Glanville could be suffering from a “contagious process” or a “foreign body reaction to something she had injected.”
Dubrow also clarified that Glanville is not “to blame” because he isn’t sure what is plaguing her, and instead blamed her doctor for not having a solid diagnosis and treatment plan.
However, he seemed pretty sure that what was wrong with her was “not a parasite” and “didn’t come from anything she ate.”
Instead, he suggested the problem was “something that entered her bloodstream and seeded a foreign body.”
Surprisingly, Dubrow even thought it was possible that Glanville would get ahead of her doctors, saying she could be right when she said she might have to have surgery.
He noted that she may have been infected with mycobacteria or fungi, which could be “very difficult to treat.”
Dubrow seemed particularly concerned when he said Glanville’s condition was “like a ticking time bomb” as the potential damage could become increasingly serious in a short time.

Brandi believes she contracted the potential parasite while filming in Morocco. “I mean, we had food sitting out for hours and some of it was meat,” she shared
He added that antibiotic treatments for mycobacteria or fungi can last six to 12 months.
It would be essential for her to get a thorough diagnosis and possibly a skin sample to determine what she was suffering from.
In an interview with Entertainment tonight Earlier this week, Brandi opened up about the frustration she’s feeling about not being able to get a diagnosis for the unknown “parasite” under the skin of her face.
‘I’ve been taking medication all year. I don’t socialize. “I don’t date and I just spend all my money trying to figure out what’s wrong with me, over $70,000,” she told ET.
Glanville has visited several doctors in an attempt to determine the cause of her problem.
“Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests…I’ve had lab work done for $10,000. I’ve run every test under the sun…. It could be a parasite that’s, you know, new.”
Brandi thinks she knows how she contracted the potential parasite.
“I mean, we had food sitting out for hours and some of it was meat. In Morocco,” she offered.
Despite her health issues, Brandi had an enjoyable holiday season as she joined her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his country singer LeAnn Rimes for Christmas.
