The sacrum, the triangle bone at the base of the spine, and the iliac spine of the pelvis are joined by this joint. Where the skin is attached to these underlying ligaments, a shallow depression is formed, which is where the dimples appear.<\/p>\n<p>They are completely genetically based, thus a person is either born with them or not, and no amount of deliberate exercise can cause them to manifest. Nonetheless, losing weight and doing specific body-sculpting activities that draw attention to muscle tone might draw attention to and intensify the dimples.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1718567\" data-uid=\"042a1\">\n<div id=\"mgw1718567_042a1\">\n<div class=\"mgbox\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\"><span style=\"font-family: var(--global-body-font-family);\">Though they are found in men less frequently, these dimples are more commonly seen in women, where they contribute to the hourglass figure ideal.
