Woman spends $1m for world's smallest waist
A Miami who woman claims to have shelled out $1million to create the world's smallest waist says men love her 'exotic figure.'
Aleira Avendano says she maintains her 18-inch waist by wearing a corset for up to 23 hours a day - only taking it off to shower.
She estimates she has spent close to a million dollars in the past 17 years to hone her physique, including $38,000 on procedures including seven boob jobs, five nose jobs, implants and new teeth.
The 33-year-old's goal is to have the world's smallest waist, a title held by Cathie Jung at 15 inches.
However, she is already pushing her body to its limit, with her organs 'shifting and adjusting' to different positions in the corset.
Despite the difficult process, Aleira, a yoga teacher, said that she is not ready to give up yet.
Aleira said, 'I find it challenging when it comes to buying clothes, as nothing fits. My sizes are unique, and I have naturally wide hips.'
'So, I have to have clothes custom-made for me. It's been a major investment - enhancements, treatments, and healthy food.
She added that maintaining her body type is a 'huge commitment', adding, 'Honestly, my body should be insured.'
Now, she never takes her corset off - except to shower. She 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. Men can't get enough of my exotic figure. I love it.'
She added, 'Thanks to this, I was able to launch my line of corsets and shapewear, so people all over the world can achieve a similar figure with time and discipline.
'This is not just the result of hard work - [it is] often physically painful. It also represents the great success of my new company: Aleira Body Secrets, my shapewear line, will change many lives.'
It comes after a woman who claims to have the 'world's biggest lips' revealed what she looked like before undergoing drastic surgery and getting copious amounts of lip filler.
Andrea Ivanova from Bulgaria regularly hits the headlines due to her enhanced appearance, which has seen her fork out an estimated £20,000 on lip filler alone after starting her transformation in 2018.
The 27-year-old has previously admitted she struggles to find love because of her dramatic look, but it hasn't stopped her from achieving her goal of having the biggest lips and cheeks in the world.
Now, she has revealed what she looked like before altering her face via cosmetic enhancements.
In her 'before' photos, a youthful Andrea can be seen with regularly proportioned lips. But since undergoing her enhancement journey, she has become scarcely recognizable.
Her long list of treatments included chin shaping, enlargement and lengthening, jaw shaping and lip augmentation, as well as cheekbone enhancement - all at once.
She's previously spoken about how she likes to stand out from the crowds with her unique look.
'I like exaggerated things like huge lips, a face with many fillers, heavy and eccentric make-up, Andrea said.
'I don't like boring ordinary appearances and I am a fan of huge shapes and eccentric beauties. Natural beauty is boring to me so I decided to change my appearance radically.'
The social media influencer has spoken openly about having had six procedures done in a single day as an 'experiment' - even though her usual doctor refused to do it.
