Brandi Glanville's ongoing health battle
The 52-year-old has been vocal about her challenging journey to diagnose the cause of her facial swelling, which has led to significant physical and emotional distress.
She confirmed via social media that all facial fillers have been dissolved and shared updates on her consultations with top doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Glanville’s health issues began in October 2023 when she was hospitalized for stress-induced angioedema, a condition that causes swelling in the deep layers of the skin.
The episode left her face severely swollen and her eyes swollen shut.
Brandi Glanville's financial and emotional toll
Brandi Glanville has reportedly spent over $70,000 on medical care.
“I don’t socialize, I don’t go out, and I’m just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what’s wrong with me,” the reality star shared, according to ET.
The battle has taken a toll on her dental health as well.
Glanville disclosed to The US Sun that she had lost five teeth, attributing the damage to repeated facial swelling and an undetected infected tooth beneath an old dental bridge.

"I am trying to get back to everyone I am so pleasantly overwhelmed. My heart is healing,” she wrote.
