How is that even possible?
This might seem like an out of this world image, but many women in Africa actually follow this practice. It is called a lip plate or lip disc. It is a form of body modification where large discs are inserted into either the upper or lower lip. According to them, this is a sign of significant economic importance especially among members of the tribe. The size of the plate depends on the wearer. It can also be any form of lip ornaments, plates or plugs that can be used. For some, it is also a display of beauty.
