In Southern Ethiopia there's a tribe known as Surma where women’s beauty is determined by how large their lip plate is.
The lip plates are usually made of clay or wood and range between 4 and 25 centimeters. To be placed on the lip, two or four teeth are removed before the lower lip is cut to fit the lip plate. This lip plate process is usually done by their mother when they attain puberty.
