Causes of Venus Dimples
There are a few reasons why some people have Venus dimples and others don’t. Anatomical structure is the first reason. Venus dimples are caused by a short ligament or a natural indentation in the skin tethered to the underlying bone structure. This creates the visible indentations in the skin. Genetics are another factor – they are often linked to a dominant genetic trait passed down through families. Finally, muscle and fat distribution do play a role. Low body fat and well-defined musculature can make these dimples more prominent or visible. It is important to note that Venus dimples have no health benefits nor adverse side effects – they are simply something that some have and some don’t, and are considered purely cosmetic.
