Brandi Glanville Says Ruptured Implant Caused Years of Illness; Removal Brought Quick Relief

She recounts a costly, years-long diagnostic search that only ended when an ultrasound found silicone leakage.

Overview

  • On a podcast released Thursday, the 53-year-old says she is two weeks post-explant and already feels noticeably better.
  • She says she saw 21 doctors and spent about $200,000 largely out of pocket despite having Kaiser insurance.
  • According to her account, mammograms repeatedly appeared normal until an ultrasound showed a right-implant rupture with silicone in both lymph nodes.
  • She describes prolonged symptoms including facial swelling and disfigurement, neck lumps, brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, and even tooth loss.
  • She claims ex-husband Eddie Cibrian offered no support during her health ordeal, crediting her adult sons for stepping up and noting only brief contact with LeAnn Rimes.
