A woman with a tiny waist has claimed her extraordinary proportions are simply the result of her natural slenderness.
Student Su Naing, of Myanmar, claims to have a waist with a circumference of only 13.7 inches, which is believed to be one of the smallest in the world.
The 23-year-old often shares photos of her extreme hourglass figure on Instagram, where she has faced accusations of photo editing and taking drastic measures like rib removal or corseting to maintain such a slim physique.

The photos of Su’s extraordinary proportions has led some to think she might edit her photos
But Su has defended herself, insisting she does not edit her photos and eats healthily. She claimed her waist is simply down to her genetics.
The NHS suggests people aim for a ‘healthy’ waist size of 31.5in or less.
She said: ‘I am in a healthy disposition and keep a healthy diet so there is nothing to worry about. I don’t think there is something wrong with how I look.
‘I enjoy posing for pictures and showing off my looks. The compliments are very flattering. People agree that it is a beautiful look.’
The current Guinness World Record holder for the world’s smallest waist is Ethel Granger, of the UK, whose waist measures 13in.

However she has undergone a lifetime of ‘waist training’, wearing corsets on a regular basis in order to shape her midriff.
Other women with similarly small waists have confessed to having ribs removed in order to achieve the shape.
It is understood Su’s waist size has not been independently verified. Some of her photos do appear to show editing around the waist, although she denies this to be the case.
The majority of the comments on her photographs are positive, with fans praising her ‘beautiful’ look.
