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.

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.
