The Florida-based yoga instructor has achieved her tiny waist by wearing a corset, and is determined to beat the current record held by 86-year-old Cathie Jung, whose waist is just 15 inches.
Aleira's controversial methods have caused her internal organs to "shift and adjust" to new spots.
However, despite the dangers, Aleira, who is originally from Venezuela, isn't ready to quit.
"I find it challenging when it comes to buying clothes, as nothing fits," she told NeedToKnow.

"My sizes are unique, and I have naturally wide hips."
"I have to have clothes custom-made for me. It's been a major investment – enhancements, treatments and healthy food.
"A huge commitment. Honestly, my body should be insured."
As well as spending £1 million on her waist whittling mission, Aleira has also spent £471,000 on cosmetic surgeries, including seven boob jobs, four nose jobs and veneers.

Aleira previously claimed that all woman "should have plastic surgery to be truly beautiful."
And despite the health risks, Aleira has encouraged others to try and get a waist like hers.
The 45-second trick to get a snatched waist that Love Island star swears by
At the start of her waist cinching journey, Aleira wore a corset six hours a day, but she has now ramped this up to 23 hours.
Wearing a corset comes with a myriad of issues, such as breathing difficulties, organ compression and muscle atrophy.

The model has now launched her own brand of shapewear, to help people achieve her "one of a kind look".
"My shapewear line will change many lives" she said.
What are the dangers of wearing corsets?
Wearing corsets, a fashion practice that dates back centuries, can pose significant medical risks despite their aesthetic appeal. One of the primary concerns is the potential for internal organ damage. Corsets, especially when tightly laced, can compress the ribs and exert pressure on internal organs such as the liver, stomach, and intestines. This compression can lead to displacement and deformation of these organs, potentially causing digestive issues, reduced lung capacity, and impaired circulation.
Breathing difficulties are another serious risk associated with corset use. The constriction of the rib cage can limit the expansion of the lungs, leading to shallow breathing and decreased oxygen intake. Over time, this can result in respiratory problems and reduced stamina. In extreme cases, prolonged use of tightly laced corsets can lead to conditions like atelectasis, where parts of the lungs collapse due to inadequate ventilation.
Additionally, corsets can affect the musculoskeletal system. The constant pressure and altered posture imposed by a corset can weaken core muscles, leading to muscle atrophy and decreased strength. This can result in long-term back pain and poor posture once the corset is removed. There is also a risk of nerve compression, which can lead to numbness, tingling, and in severe cases, nerve damage.
While modern corsets are often designed to be less restrictive than their historical counterparts, the potential health risks remain. It is essential for individuals to be aware of these risks and to use corsets sparingly and with caution. Consulting with medical professionals before incorporating corsets into regular wear can help mitigate some of these risks and ensure that any adverse effects are promptly addressed.
"It's a gentle product with incredible results, created by me and inspired by the story of my own body."
Aleria added: "I don't miss my old figure at all.

"People react in different ways.
"Some follow me, some feel nervous, and others admire me or see my body as something crazy."
She added that men "can't get enough" of her "exotic" figure.

Gold Dancer reels in stablemate Westport Cove for Galway glory
Westport Cove was the 85-40 favourite for the Grade Three contest having opened his account over fences at Ballinrobe in late May and looked in control for much of the way under Paul Townend. He still appeared the most likely winner after kicking clear of the faltering Pied Piper from the home turn, but the seven-year-old began to tire in the straight and Sean O'Keeffe produced 7-1 shot Gold Dancer with a well-timed challenge up the hill to emerge victorious by two and a half lengths. Trainer Willie Mullins said: 'Of my runners I thought Westport Cove would win, but Gold Dancer is by Doctor Dino, who is a horse we like, and Sean gave him a lovely cute ride. He let Paul do all the donkey work, had one crack at him and it all worked out 'Westport Cove basically races flat out so you just try to get a breather into him and while Paul thought he had enough breathers got, Gold Dancer is just improving. There is probably more improvement in him that the other horses we ran in the race. 'Today was the first time he showed me on the racecourse what we thought and think of him at home. We'll go down the novice chase route with him now at the big festivals and hopefully he is good enough to go on to the Drinmore (at Fairyhouse) in December.' British raider Tropical Island caused a 40-1 upset in the big Flat race of the afternoon – the Arthur Guinness Irish EBF Corrib Fillies Stakes under Luke McAteer. Richard Fahey's charge was well beaten on her most recent appearance at Pontefract, but was soon in front in this Listed event and had just enough in reserve to repel the fast-finishing Princess Child and Easy Mover in a thrilling three-way finish. 'They told me she'd stay and she stays bang on seven furlongs. The owners were adamant to keep her going, don't let up (in front) and turning in she was pricking her ears and looking up at the stands, but she stuck at it well,' said McAteer. 'I knew I had Gavin (Ryan, on Easy Mover) beaten but thought Declan (McDonogh, on Princess Child) had done me at the line, but it was great to hold on. 'I spoke to Richard (Fahey) on the phone and he said to do as the owners wanted so I didn't look back and she duly obliged. They wanted black type so it is great. 'That's my first ride for Richard, I know the owners and they put me forward for the ride. The owners are from around Kilkenny and this is brilliant.'

Strictly's Wynne Evans no longer speaking to partner as he lashes out at BBC show
Wynne Evans has made a series of sensational claims about his time on Strictly Come Dancing as he spoke about the BBC show and the BBC itself in his new radio show Wynne Evans has made a series of sensational claims about his time on Strictly Come Dancing. The Go Compare star was on the show in 2024 but his time on the programme was plagued by scandal. During the show, he and professional dance partner Katya Jones hit the headlines when they carried out a "body language experiment" where he grabbed her waist and she pushed his hand away. He alleged that it was part of an experiment and both of them later apologised for the 'joke' gone wrong. Following that, Wynne was suspended from the Strictly tour after he allegedly used the word 'spitroast' in a joke about Janette Manrara during a press call for the tour. He later insisted it was misheard and he had not used it in that context. Now, Wynne is adamant to speak out and has made a string of claims about his former Strictly co-stars. He said it is not about him anymore and instead, he wants to help others who might appear on the show. It comes after Wynne revealed what he was told by Strictly in a shock statement. In new barbed comments made on his radio show today, Wynne was grilled on whether he was in contact with any of the Strictly stars. "No I'm not," he replied. "I'm not in contact with any of them. "I think that when I was released from the tour, I heard - although this may not be true - that they were told not to contact me. I've had a few messages from them since - but not really, now today I'm not in contact with any of them at all." He later added: "Katya's a really nice person, I'm not going to say anything bad about her." He also said that some of the judges had reached out to him with nice messages, but claimed others wouldn't speak out because they were scared. Wynne previously accused Strictly of being "fundamentally flawed in its duty of care". He was let go by the BBC in May and revealed he would no longer host on BBC Radio Wales after apologising for using "inappropriate language" during the launch of the Strictly tour. In an Instagram post he shared earlier this week with 2025's Strictly stars, Wynne accused the BBC of engaging in a series of "lies and cover‐ups in order to absolve themselves of any wrongdoing" and said this was the "hardest part" for him. He further alleged in his statement that the HR department "twisted facts, invented files and dates, and created a version of events that simply wasn't true". In May, he told the Sun that a comment he made on the Strictly Come Dancing tour was not sexual or aimed at one of the female cast members, but was actually a nickname for fellow contestant, EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick. In June, the opera singer announced his comeback to radio with The Wynne Evans Show, a live weekday internet broadcast.
