What Those Two Dimples on Your Lower Back Really Mean
You may have noticed a pair of small indentations on the lower part of someone’s back, just above the buttocks. These are commonly referred to as dorsal dimples, or more romantically, Venus dimples. These subtle features are not only anatomically intriguing but have long held cultural and aesthetic significance. Let’s explore what they are, why some people have them, and what they might signify.
What Exactly Are Venus Dimples?
Definition: Venus dimples are natural indentations found on the lower back where the spine meets the pelvis. They occur due to short ligaments that pull the skin inward, creating small, symmetrical dips.
Appearance: These dimples appear on either side of the spine and are usually evenly aligned. They’re often more visible in those with a leaner body type.
Commonality: Though they’re more frequently observed in women, men can also have them.
Are They Inherited?
There’s no specific gene known to directly cause Venus dimples, but they are widely believed to be genetic. If family members—especially parents—have them, you’re more likely to as well. Their presence is linked to natural variations in body structure rather than any health condition or lifestyle factor.
