February brought Glanville’s key breakthrough: she said her 20-year-old ruptured breast implants were causing the health problems that had disfigured her face after more than $70,000 in unsuccessful testing and treatment.
The discovery followed years of shifting theories, including stress-induced angioedema and a possible parasite she believed she picked up during a 2023 trip to Morocco, as doctors struggled to explain her worsening symptoms.
On her podcast, the 53-year-old said she also feared she had contracted ringworm or staph in her throat while dating someone connected to the adult industry, adding to the confusion around her condition.
The account underscores how a long-running, inconclusive search for answers evolved from suspected infections and parasites to a mechanical cause tied to aging implants.
