Brandi Glanville's $200K Health Nightmare Ends After Removing Ruptured Implants

Brandi Glanville says she dropped $200,000 to figure out that her breast implants were to blame for her facial disfiguration.

The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum revealed the jaw-dropping expense during her appearance on the 'I Do, Part 2' podcast episode released Thursday.

The reality star, 53, recalled feeling sick about three years ago, with all her symptoms first showing up on her neck and head.

She then experienced 'brain fog' and pain in her joints, noting she felt '100 years old.'

Before she figured out that it was her breast implants she got 20 years ago that were making her sick, she said she visited 21 doctors.

'I'm telling you, $200,000,' she revealed. 'I had insurance, but the people at my insurance - Kaiser, let's just say - sucks.

'I was, like, paying out of pocket to see specialists, infectious disease doctors, you know, rheumatologists,' she continued. 'Every doctor you can think of, I saw.'

She said nobody suspected it was her breast implants because her mammograms came back normal.

Eventually she took a sonogram and doctors saw that the implant in her right breast had ruptured and leaked, causing her to have silicone in both her lymph nodes.

Glanville said she immediately felt the difference after she took out her implants two weeks ago.

Earlier this month, she told TMZ that her breast implants were the cause of her mystery illness that caused shocking facial disfiguration.

'There is such a thing as breast implant illness and you really should change your implants every 10 years - I just didn't do it,' she said. 'If it's not broke, don't fix it! I learned a really, really hard lesson.'

Although she didn't want to discourage women from getting breast implants, she recommended getting sonograms consistently.
