Lower back dimples. Can this be treated with liposuction?

2402fine Venus dimples, or otherwise known as lateral lumbar indentations are usually a generic gift passed on from mothers to male or female children. They are well defined indentations of the lower back thought to be a sign of beauty. There are specific exercises targeting the lower back which can increase definition of the region, however attainment of true Venus dimples is extremely difficult. While artful liposuction can nicely contour the lower back and remove unwanted fat unresponsive to diet and exercise, I do not recommend attempting to create Venus temples with any form of liposuction technique because failure will bring a most unattractive deformity, difficult to treat. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.

Hello.
Great question. However, with out any images and/or a personal examination is difficult to properly address your concerns. Please visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results. 

Thank you for your questions. I would be careful with this. While there probably are people out there who would attempt to do this with liposuction, I would suggest that results are mediocre and bad outcomes are common. Be careful.Best of luck!Dallas R.

This request expertise and skin, very few doctors do this correct.  I suggest you only go to an expert in HD liposuction who does this OFTEN.  The results can be quite amazing.  Best, Dr. Emer.

These indentations are genetic and there's no really good way to create them. Liposuction techniques may be used to attempt creation of these dimples, however they have very limited value and may create a greater deformity than you would like
