Have you ever noticed two small dimples at the lower part of your back, just above your buttocks?
Many people think they are just cosmetic or a cute anatomical quirk. But these tiny indentations — often called “dimples of Venus” — actually say a lot about your body’s structure and even your health.
💡 What Are These Dimples?
-
Technically, they are sacral dimples, small indentations located over the posterior superior iliac spine.
-
Most people have two symmetrical dimples — one on each side.
-
They are usually genetic and more noticeable in women, but men can have them too.
These dimples are caused by a short ligament connecting the skin to the underlying sacrum, which creates a natural “pull” in the skin.
