What causes hip dips?
The main cause of hip dips is the shape of the pelvis. The pelvis is made up of three bones: the sacrum and two ilium bones. The ilium bones are the large, flared bones at the top of the pelvis. The greater trochanter is a bony prominence on the outside of the femur, the thigh bone.
In people with hip dips, the ilium bones are wider and flare out more than in people without hip dips. The greater trochanter is also more pronounced. This causes the skin and fat in the area to curve inwards, creating the appearance of hip dips.
Other factors that can contribute to the appearance of hip dips include:
The amount of body fat
The distribution of body fat
The size and strength of the gluteus muscles
Genetics: Your body’s shape is determined by your genetics so, If your parents or other family members have hip dips, it’s more likely that you’ll have them as well.
Is it possible to get rid of hip dips?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The short answer though, is that it’s not possible to completely eliminate hip dips, and that’s absolutely okay. Some people may be able to reduce the appearance of hip dips by losing body fat, gaining muscle, or both.
