Overview
- Her surgeon reported a complete rupture of the right implant and a leak in the left, describing silicone "all over the place" before removing both and placing new, lower‑risk implants.
- Silicone migration into lymph nodes likely clogged drainage and contributed to the facial infection and swelling that left her isolated and at times hospitalized.
- Glanville said mammography did not detect the problem, while ultrasound revealed it, after she had seen 21 doctors and spent well into six figures seeking answers.
- Following explant surgery, she began laser-based treatments for facial damage and reported early improvement at a one‑week post‑op visit.
- Coverage notes ongoing debate over "breast implant illness," with the Cleveland Clinic describing a symptom cluster and the FDA not recognizing it as a formal diagnosis, as Glanville urges regular monitoring and timely replacement.
