What is waist beauty nest?

The beauty nests in the lower back are two concave nests in the lower back, above the gluteal sacrum and on both sides of the lumbar joint. Known as "Maxwell" in medicine and commonly known as "waist nest" and "holy vortex" in the art world, it is one of the symbols of an ideal mannequin. There is also a name called "Venus' dimple" in the lumbar fossa, which is regarded as the sexy eye of the human body.

Waist fossa is the fruitful result of years of painstaking research on buttocks by Gustav McKes, a German obstetrician and gynecologist. According to the data, after countless sleepless nights, Dr. McKes finally found a diamond-shaped space above the cleft in the middle of the hip. The muscles on the spine were thinner than other parts, thus forming a slightly prominent diamond-shaped body. This diamond-shaped body shows the position of the sacral spine, which is recognized by the medical community and named "Maxwell" after him. Dr. MacKay found a nest on both sides of the "MacKay Ridge". The two nests were large and deep, like eddies in water waves, and were later called "holy vortex" by western aestheticians.

Not everyone has a waist pit. According to statistics, less than 10% people in the world have lumbar fossa. In fact, the formation of lumbar fossa, like dimples and double eyelids, is related to heredity. It is congenital, not a physical defect, and has no effect on health.
