Fascinatingly, lip stretching has become tradition in parts of Africa and South America. The Mursi or Suri women in Ethiopia practice lip stretching to signify that they have reached child-bearing age. The practice is also found in parts of South America.
The process is first begun by removing the two front teeth on the bottom jaw and piercing a hole in the lower lip. Over time, the hole is stretched. The larger the disk becomes, the greater the beauty, as it is a sign of maturity amongst the tribe.
