The meaning of the two dimples in the lower back

doing sports, but think again: their secret is much deeper (and more natural) than it seems.

Venus dimples form due to a specific attachment between the skin and the pelvic bone, more precisely at an anatomical point called the posterior superior iliac spine (yes, that’s right). In short, genetics determines whether you’ll have them or not. If one of your parents has them, you have a good chance of having them too.

They are more noticeable in people with a slim or toned physique, because the skin is less “hidden” by fat. But let’s be clear: you can’t “create” these dimples if they aren’t already there, no matter how many squats or plank exercises you do.
