Dr. Terry Dubrow is weighing in on Brandi Glanville’s health woes.
The Botched doctor shared he was concerned about what was happening to the Real Housewives star’s face and offered to lend a hand in an interview with TMZ, published Thursday, December 12.
“I saw one of her interviews and I’ve seen the picture of her, the one where she is swollen, the one where she is really deflated with the irregular skin,” Dubrow, 66, told the outlet. “Here’s the thing, here’s what Brandi really needs to focus on… and it’s not her fault, it’s her doctor’s fault. Brandi needs a diagnosis.”
Glanville, 52, previously claimed that her condition could be due to “face parasites” but Dubrow doesn’t believe this to be the case.

“She has to figure out if there’s a microorganism in there,” he said. “It’s not going to be a parasite, it’s not going to be something she ate, it’s going to be from something that got into her bloodstream.”
Dubrow added that he was concerned about what could happen to the reality star if she doesn’t get the diagnosis she needs ASAP.
“She’s like a ticking time bomb. Every minute that that microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage, she could suffer worse for it,” Dubrow added. “It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules. So Brandi needs a diagnosis. She probably needs a surgical intervention to get a piece of tissue and figure out what’s going on.”
Sharing a message directly to Glanville via TMZ, Dubrow offered to assist if needed.
“Brandi, if you can’t get a diagnosis okay, and you need help, the Botched doctors are here for you,” he said.
Glanville has been open about her health struggles. She previously shared a photo of her facial deformities and revealed she’s spent $70,000 looking for answers as to what’s causing it.
“Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000,” she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Tuesday, December 10. “I ran every test under the sun.… They’re like, ‘It could be a parasite.’ That’s, you know, new.”
Glanville explained that before a doctor theorized she potentially contracted a parasite, she experienced “swelling” and was “unable to speak.” When she sought out treatment, some medical professionals thought the issue may have been due to old face fillers that were dissolving. However, Glanville stated that she hadn’t gotten any fillers done in a while and the former had already dissolved.

Glanville also initially thought food poisoning in Morocco while filming The Real Housewives: The Ultimate Girls Trip may have caused the issue.
According to Glanville, she has a decent idea of where the parasite is living under her face. While she has not seen the organism with her two eyes, she has seen and felt it move. If Glanville “messes with it” it will jump around to a different area and will look like “tiny bubbles bursting” on her skin.
As well as the issues affecting her face, Glanville shared that the parasite also produces a lot of fluid that her lymph nodes are unable to properly drain.
