🧿 If You Have These Two Holes on Your Back and…
You may have noticed two small, symmetrical indentations on the lower back—just above the buttocks. Many people online describe them as something “special” or “mysterious,” but medically they have a simple explanation.
These small indentations are commonly known as “Venus dimples” or “dimples of Venus.”
Let’s understand what they really are and what they do—and don’t—mean.
🧬 What Are These “Two Holes” Really?
These dimples are caused by a natural anatomical structure.
They appear when:
- A short ligament connects the skin to the pelvic bone
- The skin is slightly pulled inward in those points
- The body structure creates a visible indentation
👉 In simple terms, they are a normal body feature, not a defect or condition.
🌿 Are They Rare?
They are:
- Not extremely rare
- Not present in everyone
- More visible in some body types than others
They tend to appear more clearly in people who have:
- Lower body fat levels
- Naturally defined pelvic structure
But they can exist in many different body shapes.
