Case reports and expert opinion support use
Venus dimples are not created by muscles or exercise – they’re anatomical indentations. Whether you have them is primarily genetic.
The 'dimples of Venus' are primarily determined by anatomy - visible indentations where the posterior superior iliac spine meets the skin. No exercise can create dimples if anatomy doesn't support them. However, posterior chain strengthening combined with fat loss can enhance their appearance if the anatomical foundation exists.
