You may have noticed them one day, passing by a mirror. Those two small, symmetrical indentations, just above the buttocks, that gently accentuate the lower back. They're called Venus dimples. Pretty and mysterious, they intrigue as much as they fascinate. But beyond their subtle charm, what do they really say about our bodies? The answer is both simple and surprising.
What exactly are Venus dimples?
Behind this poetic name lies a very simple anatomical explanation. These small, natural depressions are formed by a short ligament that connects the skin to a bony structure in the pelvis, called the posterior superior iliac spine. This connection creates a slight depression visible on the surface of the skin.
And no, you didn't do anything special to have them—or not to have them. It's all down to genetics. If your mother or grandmother has them, there's a good chance you will too. It's a truly charming inheritance to pass on!
Men can also have their own dimples in their lower back, known as Apollo dimples. In both cases, they are often associated with good blood circulation and a toned physique.
