Quick Summary

Bravolebrity Brandi Glanville, 53, underwent an ultrasound exam in a doctor's office where the technician reported seeing "something alive" and "moving" in her face, a disturbing discovery that has left her seeking medical attention for a facial parasite. According to Glanville, both the technician and radiologist agreed on the unusual finding.

Story summary

Reality TV star Brandi Glanville, 53, has been experiencing health issues that have led to some startling medical findings. During a recent ultrasound in her doctor's office, the technician reportedly said there was something alive and moving on the left side of her face, which the radiologist also confirmed. Glanville claimed she was told this had never been seen before, leaving her with a frightening diagnosis: a facial parasite that needs to be surgically removed. If she can't find a doctor to do the surgery, she joked she might have to take matters into her own hands and perform it herself. This isn't the first time Glanville has talked about her health issues on social media; she's mentioned being on IVs for almost 20 hours a day and struggling with food intake due to the medications. She attributes these problems to the facial parasite, which is currently causing her significant discomfort.
