A look inside Brandi Glanville’s facial parasite terror that stunned doctors

“I completely ruptured and there was silicone on my lymph nodes,” Glanville claimed in an interview with TMZ. “That’s what caused the infection on my face, and I couldn’t get it out because my lymph nodes were all clogged.”

Told exclusively by Dr. Tanya Nino, a dermatologist at Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Orange County, California Radar Ruptured breast implants generally lead to more localized symptoms, including hardening of the affected area, lumps in the breast and “noticeable changes in breast symmetry.” Other symptoms include swollen lymph nodes and lumps under the armpits.

In summary, Dr. Nino explains that the effects “should be localized and not expected to impact facial appearance.”

Dr. Jeffrey Lee, dual board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of JL Plastic Surgery in Boston, Massachusetts, agreed that her facial changes “do not reflect the typical presentation of a breast implant rupture.”

While there have been reports of “more common symptoms, such as fatigue, joint pain, or nausea,” he noted that vision problems are not a “recognized or common consequence of implant rupture.”

“I am not aware of any documented cases where a ruptured breast implant directly caused facial disfigurement,” added Dr. Lee added.
