Those two small dimples on the lower back, just above the buttocks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

are commonly known as Venus dimples<\/strong> (or dimples of Venus<\/em>) in women and Apollo dimples<\/strong> in men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medically, they are referred to as sacral dimples<\/strong> or lumbosacral dimples<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They appear where the pelvis and spine connect<\/strong>\u2014specifically where the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS)<\/strong> is positioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These indentations form because the skin is attached directly to underlying ligaments, creating a natural dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Current understanding<\/strong>: While genetics play a role, body fat percentage and muscle tone also influence their visibility. People with lower body fat often show them more clearly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
