She added, “When drs at cedars put me on IV antibiotics & fungal medication I was getting better. I looked normal but I couldn’t afford to stay on them.

The 52-year-old has supposedly been battling a facial parasite, as reported by Page Six, and has since found celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow to help her out.
He conducted four biopsies to gain further information on her condition.
In February, Glanville was fairly active on social media, sharing videos whilst using a lymphatic drainage machine — meant to vibrate on one’s skin to relieve pain, stimulate fluid movement, and prevent diseases from getting worse.
Earlier this week, she provided her Instagram followers with a little update on the treatment, saying experts found “no cancer” in her but added that “the cultures take six weeks to grow so no news yet but 🤞🏻.”

According to the outlet, Glanville has been quite transparent when it comes to her ongoing health problems, admitting that she has spent over $70,000 in order to find out what the cause of her facial disfigurement stems from.
In December 2024, she shared that she was beginning to take her prescribed antibiotics once before after noticing that her face was beginning to “sink in.”
“I prefer [my face] when it’s a little swollen, to be honest,” she said.
“When it’s only swollen on one side, it’s not great. But the sinking in thing is killing me slowly, because I just feel like I look like a crackhead.”

Unsurprisingly, being in the dark about the cause of her disfigurement has Glanville searching “desperately” for more answers.
“You could do anything you want to me, and I’d be okay with it,” she admitted. “I’ve had days of looking normal, not weeks. I wish. But it comes and goes.”
Though there is no official confirmation, the past model suspects her time filming for Bravo TV was to blame.

“We had food sitting for hours on end and some of it was meat, in Morocco,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “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.”
