Suyá people

Suyá people, also called the Kisêdjê, are indigenous people in Brazil, at the headwaters of the Xingu River.

Historically, they were known for their lip plates, an unusual form of body modification which they practiced. After marriage, Suyá men used to have their lower lip pierced, and have a small wooden disk placed inside. The size of the disk would be gradually increased as time went on, permanently changing the size of the lip.
