What Are Venus Dimples?
Venus dimples, or “back dimples,” are the small indentations just above the buttocks.
Medically called dimples of Venus, they form where “the skin attaches directly to a bony landmark called the posterior superior iliac spine of the pelvis.”
How They Form
This attachment “pulls the skin inward slightly, forming a natural dimple.”
They aren’t related to muscle or fat but to skeletal structure, making them something you’re either born with or not.
Who Has Them
They’re often more visible in people with lower body fat.
However, “Venus dimples can’t be developed through exercise since they are not formed by muscle but by skeletal structure.”
Aesthetic Value
Often seen as a symbol of beauty, they “have no known medical function or health significance.”
Whether you have them or not, both are normal variations of the human body.
