Quick Summary

Brandi Glanville, 53, is set to undergo facial surgery on Friday where Dr. Carlo Henrado will perform an exploratory procedure to remove what he believes are either fungal balls or a living parasite identified under her skin. The doctor will charge an additional $5,000 beyond insurance coverage for the operation, which Glanville describes as involving a "power wash" and spinning her blood for platelet treatments inside her face. This surgery comes after Glanville's recent diagnosis with multiple health conditions including highly resistant bacterial infections and fungal issues.

Story summary

Brandi Glanville, a 53-year-old former model and reality TV personality, is set to undergo an exploratory surgery on her face to remove what Dr. Carlo Henrado believes are either "fungal balls or something alive" under her skin. Last month, Glanville revealed she was diagnosed with multiple health conditions after years of unexplained symptoms, including a highly resistant bacterial infection and Valley fever. She expressed optimism but also fear about the procedure, which involves a "power wash" beneath the skin to remove potential parasites. The surgery will be performed for whatever insurance covers plus an additional $5,000. Glanville emphasized that this procedure is different from a typical facelift and more intensive.
