A hip dip, also known as “violin hips” or “trochanteric depression,” refers to the slight inward curve or indentation that can be seen on the sides of some people’s hips between the hip bone and the top of the thigh.
It’s a natural variation in hip shape and is influenced by factors like genetics, muscle distribution, and body composition. Hip dips are not a medical condition and are entirely normal.
They occur when the skin and connective tissue follow the underlying bone structure. Hip dips can be more or less pronounced from person to person and do not pose any health concerns.
