Brandi Glanville Prepares for Invasive Exploratory Facial Surgery

Dr. Carlo Henrado plans to operate on two specific areas that have caused Glanville significant concern. According to the star, the surgeon suspects these sites may contain fungal material or an active, shifting mass. The procedure will utilize surgical tools to clear the area, followed by a platelet-rich plasma treatment using her own blood. Despite expressing excitement about finding a resolution, Glanville admitted to being terrified by the prospect of such an aggressive intervention.

This surgery marks a critical juncture in a long-standing medical struggle that has included chemical burns and a previously identified benign tumor in a lymph node. The financial toll of these ongoing health issues prompted a circle of fellow reality stars, including Kyle Richards and Leah McSweeney, to contribute to a GoFundMe campaign to assist with mounting weekly medical expenses. Beyond the physical health crisis, Glanville is managing the recent death of her father, Guy, with whom she had a complex, strained relationship. As she faces the operating table, she remains hopeful that this intervention will finally allow her to move past years of medical uncertainty.
