Brandi Glanville's New Facial Parasite Claims: Expert Weighs In

Brandi Glanville, a former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, has been trying to unravel the mystery behind her facial issues for years. Initially blaming a parasite contracted while filming, she now attributes her disfigurement to ruptured implants.

According to Brandi, leaked silicone from aging breast implants led to a parasitic infection by clogging her lymph nodes. However, medical experts have refuted her claims, stating her symptoms do not align with a traditional ruptured implant scenario.

Dermatologist Dr. Tanya Nino explained that with a ruptured implant, one would typically see localized symptoms like breast lumps or changes in symmetry, not facial disfigurement. Plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Lee also noted that facial issues are not a common consequence of implant rupture.

Dr. Sean T. Doherty emphasized that there is no scientific evidence supporting Brandi's claims, as facial abnormalities are not recognized symptoms of breast implant issues. The true cause of Brandi's facial problems remains unclear, leaving the possibility that she may be a medical anomaly.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo, with streaming available the next day on Peacock.
