That paraphrase of Plato's longer aphorism would certainly apply to the Mursi and Suri tribes of Ethiopia, who use lip plates as a form of body modification.
Every woman crafts her plate by herself and takes pride in including some ornamentation. A final diameter of about 8 to max about 16cm. Note, after the wedding, many stop the use of the lip plate, and the lip will shrink and wrinkle, because the skin is too big. Only vain women or the women in a harem compete for the biggest lip plate after the wedding.
