Brandi Glanville warned by top surgeon to stop going under the knife following facial disfigurement
Share:
One of the top plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills has urged Brandi Glanville to stop going under the knife until she can find the root cause of her facial disfigurement. Glanville - who was previously diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema - shared a photo earlier this month and many branded her as unrecognizable, particularly due to her deflated, haggard cheeks.

The 52-year-old has said that she wants more surgery to fix her sagging face, but board-certified surgeon Dr. Jonathan Sykes - who has not personally treated Glanville - said that the embattled reality star should focus on identifying the cause of the problem first.

'No treatment should be performed until it's very clear what the original process was and that it's not ongoing,' he explained. So far, Glanville claims to have spent over $70,000 trying to figure out what caused her facial decay. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star believes that it could be the result of a parasite.

While Dr. Sykes said that it's impossible to determine whether Glanville was suffering from a parasite without personally treating her, he did say that whatever is happening 'has caused a significant amount of dermal and subcutaneous tissue atrophy.'. Botched star Dr. Terry Dubrow recently dismissed Glanville's 'parasite' theory, telling TMZ that her misshapen skin and sunken cheeks were more likely the result of an infection.
