Many people notice two small dimples on the lower back, just above the buttocks. These are commonly called “back dimples” or “Dimples of Venus.” While they may look like a special body feature, they actually have a simple explanation related to anatomy and genetics.
1. They Are a Natural Body Feature
These dimples occur where the skin is attached directly to the pelvic bone by a short ligament. Because of this connection, small indentations appear on the lower back.
2. They Are Mostly Genetic
Whether someone has these dimples is mostly determined by genetics. If your parents have them, there is a higher chance you may have them too.
3. They Are Often Linked to Body Structure
Back dimples are usually easier to see in people who have less fat in the lower back area. However, having them does not necessarily mean someone is thinner or healthier—it’s simply how their body is shaped.
4. Sometimes Called “Dimples of Venus” or “Dimples of Apollo”
