Overview

  • She began treatment last month with Dr. Michael R. Scoma in NYC, who has offered new diagnostic insights and targeted therapy protocols for her facial condition.
  • Glanville, 52, first experienced facial swelling and paralysis after a 2023 trip to Morocco and spent over $100,000 on treatments without relief.
  • Previous consultations, including four biopsies by Dr. Terry Dubrow and theories of parasites, angioedema or cosmetic injection infection, failed to yield definitive answers.
  • The reality star says she is "finally getting answers" and looks forward to restoring her health, fixing her teeth and resuming normal activities.
  • Fellow cast member Vicki Gunvalson has reported similar post-trip symptoms, suggesting a possible link to food exposure during the Morocco filming.
