They occur where a short ligament or connective tissue attaches the skin to the pelvis, near the posterior superior iliac spine.<\/p>\n<p>Their visibility can also vary depending on <strong>body composition<\/strong>. They may be easier to notice when there is less fat around the lower back, but exercise itself does not create them.<\/p>\n<h3>Do Venus dimples indicate good health?<\/h3>\n<p>Not necessarily. Despite the myths and aesthetic associations surrounding them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are a <strong>normal and harmless physical characteristic<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>They do not mean someone is healthier, stronger, or more fertile.<\/li>\n<li>They are not considered a sign of an underlying disease.<\/li>\n<li>They generally do not cause pain or require any medical treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, <strong>Venus dimples are simply a natural result of your body structure and genetics\u2014not a measure of your health or fitness.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever noticed two small dents on your lower back, just above your buttocks?
