Curvy Aleira Avendano achieved an eye-watering 20 inch waist - by wearing a corset 23 hours a day

This is Aleria Avendaño. She is a 26-year-old model from Venezuela who had her first plastic surgery at age 19. She thinks that all women should follow in her footsteps to 'perfect' their beauty.

The busty model has been wearing the waist-shrinking garment for the last six years and even refers to it as her second skin.

And despite doctors’ warnings that the corset poses serious health risks, Aleira continues to turn heads with her extreme shape.

Aleira, from Caracas, Venezuela, said: "I am completely obsessed with belts and corsets - I even sleep with them on.

"I love the feeling of pressure and only take it off for an hour a day to rest and to wash myself."

The 25-year-old model began waist training while still in her teens and now with her enhanced 34DD breasts she draws stares wherever she goes.

She said: "People stop what they’re doing and stare - everywhere I go I get attention.

"People shout at me in the street - they can’t believe that figure is real.

"But wearing a corset took some getting used to - at first it was terrible and uncomfortable.

"After a while it became a necessity and when I’m not wearing it my skin would itch.

"But it’s not pain – it’s more pleasure, I like the pressure.

"I don’t feel a thing, it doesn’t bother me at all."
