Rowing has been a strong sport for India so far and there are more opportunities for athletes to advance to the medal rounds in their respective sports. India will begin their journey hoping to win their first table tennis gold with a star-studded line-up that includes Manika Batra and Sharath Kamal. The nation will also face Chinese Taipei in men’s volleyball after a dramatic 3-2 win over South Korea. The men’s team of Indian table tennis beat Yemen 3-0 in the first round and moved to the second round where they will now face Singapore in round two of the championship.

Women’s cricket has already kicked off on the 19th of September and finals will be played on the 25th of September. India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are the teams who qualified for the semifinals. The 4th quarter-final is yet to be played, whichever team wins it will face India in the semi-finals, the another semi-final will be played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. 

 

The 19th edition of the Asian Games 2023 has already started on September 19. However, the opening ceremony will take place tomorrow, Saturday, September 23, 2023.

Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam passed unanimously in the Parliament

Preyensha Srivastava |

Thursday, 21st September will be remembered as a momentous day in the history of the Indian parliament, as on this day the upper house of the parliament gave a clear nod to the 128th amendment of the Indian constitution. The historical Women’s Reservation Bill has been passed unanimously in Rajya Sabha and it had already got a clear passage from Lok Sabha by a two-third majority on Wednesday.  The bill is also known as the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’ which calls for the reservation of one-third or 33% of seats in Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies. 

 

The bill will be remembered as the first bill to pass in the new building in both houses. It Secured 214 votes in its favour, with no one opposing the bill in Rajya Sabha. Only two members of the AIMIM opposed the bill in the Lok Sabha. The Nari Shakti Vandana Adhiniyam will be implemented after the census and the delimitation process. 

 

Prime Minister Modi was also present in the upper house at the time of voting, which was underway at night. The PM thanked all the members of the house for their support of the bill, later on, he posed for a group photograph with the female members of the house. PM in his speech said “A decisive moment in our nation’s democratic journey! Congratulations to 140 million Indians. I thank all the Rajya Sabha MPs who voted for Nari Shakti Vanda Adhiniyam. Such unanimous support pleases.” 

 

“With the passage of this bill in Parliament, we are ushering in an era of stronger representation and empowerment of women in India. It is not just a piece of legislation; it is a tribute to the countless women who have made our nation. India is enriched by their resilience and contribution. As we celebrate today, we are reminded of the strength, courage and indomitable spirit of all women in our nation. This historic step is a commitment to ensure that their voices are heard more effectively,” added PM Modi.  

 

Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar congratulated the members and said “It is a historic achievement. This is the first bill approved in the new Parliament. After the Upper House passed the bill. Congratulations everyone. It also happens to be the day of Prime Minister Modi’s birthday according to Hindu calendar.” Dhankhar said after the bill was passed.

 

Several other BJP leaders also shared greetings messages to congratulate the citizens on social media. Opposition female leaders like Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Chaturvedi, and Mahua Moitra raised questions on the government that why this bill will not be implemented with immediate effect.

AP Dhillon & Sidhu Moosewala’s Insta page responds to ongoing Punjabi singers’ controversy

Preyensha Srivastava |

Around 13 hours ago singer Shubh (aka Shubneet Singh) broke his silence about the recent controversy amid the ongoing diplomatic row between India and Canada.  due to which he has been facing backlash and that has also led to the cancellation of his India tour. In the midst of these events, singer AP Dhillon has conveyed a message advocating for “promoting love instead of hatred.” The singer, who is based in Canada, shared this message on Instagram Stories one day after Shubh’s Still Rollin India Tour was cancelled due to allegations of his support for the Khalistan cause. Additionally, the Instagram page of the late Sidhu Moosewala also addressed the public outcry surrounding Shubh.

 

AP Dhillon’s Message 

 

AP Dhillon conveyed on Instagram Stories that he attempts to avoid the frenzy of social media since he believes that, regardless of his actions or words, they might be twisted to someone’s preferred narrative, furthering division. He expressed the challenge artists face in concentrating on their art due to the fear of unintentionally exacerbating division. 

 

The singer who has been residing in Canada since 2015 and recently visited India, further mentioned that artists often find their public images being manipulated by political and special interest groups for their own objectives, even though artists aim to produce art that touches people universally, irrespective of their background or identity.

 

He ended by emphasizing the importance of promoting love over hatred, encouraging individual thinking and resisting the sway of divisive influences. He reminded everyone of the unity that binds all and highlighted the harm division has caused, stressing that unity holds the key to a better future.

 

Message From Late Sidhu Moosewala’s Page

 

Late Sidhu Moosewala’s Instagram page expressed support for Shubh, drawing parallels between Shubh’s situation and Sidhu’s own experiences. The statement conveyed that Sidhu, who consistently advocated for his people, was unfairly branded a terrorist without substantial evidence. Sadly, Shubh found himself in a similar predicament, facing a sudden wave of national hostility due to a well-intentioned Instagram Story.

 

The statement raised a thought-provoking question about why artists from minority backgrounds often confront adversity, whether it be through persecution or attempts to silence them. It emphasized that music transcends caste and religion and lamented the loss of Sidhu due to the prevailing hatred in society. The statement concluded by questioning when this cycle of hatred would come to an end, highlighting the need for change and unity.

 

Cancellation Of Shubh’s India Tour After Backlash

 

On Wednesday, BookMyShow made an announcement regarding the cancellation of Shubh’s Still Rollin Tour in India. They conveyed through a tweet, “The Still Rollin Tour for India by singer Shubhneet Singh has been cancelled. In response, BookMyShow has initiated a full refund process for all ticket purchasers, with refunds expected to reflect in the original transaction source accounts within 7-10 working days.”

 

The ticket-booking platform faced criticism on social media for hosting Shubh, who had been associated with allegations of sympathizing with Khalistani sentiments after a controversial Instagram Stories post earlier this year. In this post, Shubh reportedly shared a distorted map of India with the caption “Pray for Punjab.” Additionally, it was noted that Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and others unfollowed Shubh on Instagram amidst the backlash.

 

On Thursday, Shubh expressed his disappointment at the tour’s cancellation through a statement on Instagram. He expressed his dedication to preparing for this tour over the past two months and his eagerness to perform in India. He further explained his intentions behind sharing that story and expressed how his message had been misinterpreted.

CWC’23: The India’s Road To Knockout

Preyensha Srivastava |

 

The cricket fans in India will be excited and overwhelmed as the biggest Cricket event in the world is about to come to the country. The cricket giant is going to host the Cricket World Cup 2023, which will commence on 5th October, with the match-up between England and New Zealand. The Indian Cricket Team will play its first match against the Five-time world champions Australia on 8th October 2023.  The Men-in-Blue, who will be eager to perform in every match, are favorites to win the trophy as they are hosting the tournament and it is difficult to defeat India at home. 

 

Here are all the fixtures of the hosts:

 

IND vs. AUS: 8 October 2023

For their first match-up, India will take on the mighty Australians at Chepauk. The Australians have an edge over India when it comes to World Cup Cricket, in the 12 face-offs between the two the Aussies have defeated India in eight matches while India has won only four. So, it will be a delight to watch for the fans, whether the Cummins-led Australia would give a tough time to India or if Rohit’s men would shatter Australian hopes.

 

IND vs. AFG: 11 October 2023

India will face off against the underdog Afghanistan on 11 October at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. In the last edition of the World Cup, the two sides first played against each other. In a close match, India defeated the Afghans by 11 runs, as Shami became the second Indian to take a hat-trick. It will be interesting to see who will emerge victorious in this contest.

 

IND vs. PAK: 14 October 2023

The biggest rivalry in the world of cricket is all set to happen as India takes on the arch-rivals Pakistan in the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. India has quite an impressive record against Pakistan in World Cups, in the seven head-to-head encounters Pakistan has never defeated India. In the recent few matches also India seems to have an upper hand over the Men-in-green. 

 

IND vs. BAN: 19 October 2023

India will face the unpredictable Bangladesh on 19 October at Pune’s MCA stadium. The Bangladeshi Team has always been a surprise package and on a good day, they can upset any giant of world cricket, like they did in the 2015 World Cup with England. India has been a brute force against Bangladesh in the World Cups, the hosts have three out of four matches played against Bangladesh. So it would be a big positive for India if they make the tally to 4-1.

IND vs. NZ: 22 October 2023

As the tournament advances, India will face the Blackcaps at the HPCA, Dharamsala. The Men-in-Black have always turned out to be the knockout hunters for India, in the eight World Cup matches head-to-head played between the two, India has won only three while New Zealand has five points. Out of these five one defeat has been in knockouts. Will India be able to give New Zealand a taste of their own medicine or will New Zealand be able to bounce back stronger? It will be a contest to watch.

 

IND vs. ENG: 29 October 2023

Ekana Stadium in Lucknow will be the home to the India-England match-up on 29 October. The defending champions have been in good form, as the star player Ben Stokes calls off his retirement. India head-to-head against England has always been a contest to watch in the World Cup. India has won three of the eight games while England has won four, with one game resulting in a tie.

 

IND vs. SL: 2 November 2023

India taking on Sri Lanka in Wankhede reminds me of the 2011 World Cup Final, the hosts will once again take on the odd performers Sri Lanka at Wankhede on 2 November 2023. India and Sri Lanka have a balanced score of 4-4 when it comes to head-to-head in world cups. Defeating India at home is a difficult task, and it will be interesting to watch as the Lankan-Indian rivalry continues.

 

IND vs. SA: 5 November 2023

The Proteas will play against India at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 5 November. India was unable to defeat South Africa in World Cups before 2015. Since the 2015 World Cup, India has had an upper hand over the Proteas. Out of the five games, South Africa has won three, while India has won two. 

 

IND vs. NED: 12 November 2023

India will play its last league match against the newcomers Netherlands at the bowlers’ graveyard M.Chinnaswamy Bangalore on 12 November. India has faced the Netherlands only twice in a World Cup and has won on both occasions. The last time the country played against the Netherlands in a WC game, India lifted the trophy.

Preyensha Srivastava |

You have heard several times how dangerous drinking alcohol can be to your health, and ability to lose weight. However, some studies have also suggested that the occasional drink has certain advantages and we concur—as long as you keep your drinking in check and use moderation, you may even experience some advantages. Different kinds of alcoholic beverages have different effects on the health of an individual. 

 

Rum

When taken in a moderate quantity, Rum is quite beneficial for you, especially during the winter season. Rum helps to keep your body warm and also relieves body pain. Apart from comforting the human body, it also has some health benefits such as prevention of heart disease and lowering the risk of diabetes. Approx 100 grams of rum should be consumed to acquire 230 calories (This may vary). This demonstrates that it doesn’t include either lipids or carbohydrates. The consumption of Rum may also increase the life of a person by half of a decade. This outcome is attained as a result of rum drinking decreasing anxiety. Additionally, it lowers the chances of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia, which can lengthen a person’s average life span.

 

Wine

Wine is a part of every meal in most of the European countries. Wine, especially red wine is proven to be one of the most beneficial alcoholic beverages, as it is rich in antioxidants, is produced from grapes and grapes are rich in antioxidants like resveratrol and proanthocyanidins which are mainly responsible for keeping you healthy.

 

Whiskey

Worldwide, whiskey is a dark-grain alcoholic beverage. Ireland and Scotland in the Middle Ages were where it initially emerged. Whiskey contains neither sugar nor carbs, yet overall, calories from spirits are similar. Its ellagic acid content may also reduce inflammatory bowel conditions and obesity threat. Whiskey has a lot of polyphenols, which are plant-based antioxidants that may reduce your chance of developing heart disease. Stroke and heart disease can be avoided by maintaining healthy levels. 

Beer

Beer is one of the top five most consumed beverages in the world. It has many health advantages and less alcohol than other strong liquors. Beer has numerous health advantages, including lowering the risk of cancer, managing diabetes, preventing kidney stones, lowering cholesterol, preventing blood clots, etc. Additionally, it aids in the treatment of hypertension, osteoporosis, and bone health.

 

Brandy 

According to legend, brandy was created by Spanish vintners in the 15th or 16th century. It is made from a fruit-based mash and is typically consumed in the late evening or after dinner. When drunk in moderation, brandy offers both anti-ageing and beneficial effects against respiratory illnesses.

 

People consume alcohol on various occasions. However, excess of everything is bad. Alcohol, when consumed in a healthy quantity, brings various health benefits. Drinking in excess may reverse those advantages, and also affect other crucial components of the body such as the brain, liver, etc. This article is purely based on research from the internet, and alcohol must be consumed at one’s own risk.

Zelenskyy addressed the UN General Assembly, Here are the Key Points You Need to Know

Preyensha Srivastava |

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly ahead of the International Peace Day Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Russia’s “unprovoked aggression.” Zelenskyy’s appearance at the council helped him turn it into a direct conflict at the highest level with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei V. Lavrov and his American counterpart, Antony J. Blinken (Secretary of State). He also targets all the senior ambassadors and representatives who represent the case of their countries over the invasion of Ukraine. He is seeking support from world leaders in New York on Wednesday. 

 

In his speech, Zelenskyy stated, “I Welcome everyone, Honourable Secretary General! Co-leaders! Who support the common work on peace and I promise by uniting, we can ensure just peace for all nations, because unity can prevent wars. This lobby has seen many wars, but not as an active defender against aggression. In many cases it was the fear of war that was loudest here, the last war – the war after which no one gathered in the living room anymore.” 

 

Conflict between countries with nuclear weapons turned the Third World War into a nuclear war. Other wars seemed less frightening compared to the threat of so-called superpowers firing their nuclear stockpiles. Thus, the 20th century taught the world to refrain from using weapons of mass destruction – not to deploy, not to spread, not to threaten and not to test, but to promote complete nuclear disarmament. Honestly, it’s a good strategy. 

 

Zelenskyy told the UN Security Council on Wednesday that if Russia does not break its veto power, the UN will be powerless to resolve conflicts around the world, adding to growing calls for a review of the body’s actions. Ukraine’s soldiers are doing with their blood what the UN Security Council should do by voting. Zelenskyy said on Wednesday, arguing that “the aggressor’s veto power is what led the UN to deadlock.” 

 

Majorly in his long-hour speech Zelenskyy widely criticised the unlawful invasion of Ukraine by Russia, during his speech the Russian ambassador swiped his mobile phone. He also suggested the UN make some changes in the Veto Power using the procedure. His speech was applauded by the members with a standing ovation.

 

India suspended visa services for Canadians indefinitely amid tensions

Preyensha Srivastava |

The growing bilateral dispute between India and Canada is showing no sign of abating. In the middle of ongoing conflict, the Indian government has today banned the Visa services for Canadians, indefinitely alleging security threats for diplomats. Indian Visa service provider BLS Internationals posted a message from India’s mission blaming “operational reasons” for the decision, but still no formal announcement has been made. An Indian official just confirmed the decision of BLS International but denied making any further comments on the matter. 

 

The Canadian portal of Indian visa outsourcing provider BLS International notes that visa services have been suspended since September 21, starting today. The message says: Important Notice from Embassy of India: Due to operational reasons, Indian visa services are suspended from September 21, 2023, until further notice. For more information please refer to the BLS website. In practice, this means that visas will no longer be issued by the Indian mission in Canada, which primarily serves Canadian citizens.

 

The move came a day after India issued an advisory urging its citizens travelling to or residing in Canada to exercise “extreme caution” regarding “anti-Indian activities and politically sanctioned hate crimes and criminal violence in Canada.” There are 1.4 million people of Indian origin living in Canada, representing 3.7% of the country’s population as of the 2021 census. India also sends the most international students to Canada, accounting for 40 per cent of all international students in 2022, at 320,000.

 

India and Canada are locked in an international dispute over Ottawa’s claim that it has “credible allegations” linking New Delhi agents to the killing of pro-Khalistan Sikh terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The Indian government strongly rejected the accusation as absurd and motivated. It is not yet clear if the visa suspension is related to the row. 

 

As relations between India and Canada deteriorate due to the ongoing bilateral dispute, another Khalistani terrorist is murdered. Sukhdool Singh was shot dead in the Canadian city of Winnipeg late on Wednesday night. The Khalistani terrorist had links with the Bambiha gang and was killed in the same manner as Nijjar. Sukhdool Singh Gill aka Sukha Duneke fled to Canada in 2017 after being accused of murder and extortion.

Seven ways to earn money as college student

Preyensha Srivastava |

A college student’s life is frequently crammed with classes, homework, and social obligations. However, in the midst of this hectic schedule, many students struggle to manage their cash. With tuition, books, and living expenses, there is an increasing necessity for college students to work. Fortunately, the modern world provides numerous opportunities to earn money while maintaining academic commitments. 

 

Here are seven different ways for college students to make money:

 

 

  • Freelancing: The gig economy is booming. Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer offer students opportunities to utilize their skills in areas such as writing, graphic design, programming, and digital marketing. Freelancing allows students to choose projects according to their schedules and expertise.

 

 

 

  • Tutoring: College students can leverage their academic strengths by offering tutoring services to peers or high school students. This not only generates income but also helps in reinforcing their own knowledge. Platforms like Chegg Tutors or Tutor.com can help students find clients.

 

 

 

  • On-campus Jobs: Many colleges and universities offer on-campus jobs for students. These roles, ranging from library assistants to cafeteria workers, provide a steady income and the convenience of proximity to classes.

 

 

 

  • Participating in Research Studies: Research departments often need participants for their studies and are willing to pay for it. These studies can range from answering surveys to participating in physical tests. Students can check bulletin boards or university websites for available opportunities.

 

 

 

  • Selling Course Notes and Study Guides: Students who take good notes can sell them to peers who might need extra help. Platforms like StudySoup or Nexus Notes allow students to upload and sell their study materials.

 

 

 

  • Becoming a Campus Ambassador: Many brands target college students as their primary audience and hire campus ambassadors to promote their products or services. This role often comes with perks, freebies, and a decent stipend.

 

 

 

  • Renting Out Belongings: If a student owns something that others might need occasionally, like a camera, bicycle, or even a parking space, they can consider renting it out. Apps like Fat Llama make this process easy and secure.

 

 

While college is a time for learning and personal growth, it is also a good time to experiment with different ways of making money. Students have a wealth of possibilities available to them, whether it’s providing a service, utilising academic skills, or capitalising on assets. By taking advantage of these possibilities, students can not only reduce their financial responsibilities, but also obtain significant experience, skills, and contacts that will serve them well in the future.

India beat the mighty West Indies and emerged as a new world champions

Arsh Verma |

Cricket is something which groups its roots in the emotions of every individual in India. Once in a lifetime, every Indian must think of becoming a cricketer.  As the cricket world cup is heading to our doors, the streets of India are filled with joy and happiness to celebrate the biggest festival of the cricketing world.  

In addition to our series “A Countdown to World Cup” today we are sharing the memories of the 80s, when for the first time Indians celebrated the defeat of mighty West Indians as world champions in the final. 

 

World Cup of 83

The Cricket World Cup of 1983 (officially Prudential Cup ’83) was the third edition of the World Cricket Championship. It took place from 9 to 25 June 1983 in England and Wales and was won by underdogs India. Eight countries participated in the event. England, India, Pakistan and West Indies qualified for the semi-finals. The preliminary matches were held in two subgroups of four teams, and each country played twice against the others in its subgroup. The top two teams from each subgroup qualified for the semi-finals. 

 

Format

Unlike previous Cricket World Cups, the group stage was played in a robin round format. Group A included hosts England, Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka; Group B included reigning champions West Indies, India, Australia and sole qualifier Zimbabwe. The formats were designed so that all games could be watched live on television, matches were played simultaneously in multiple venues, and for a rain-interrupted game, there was a reserve day.  Although only three matches were required another day. 

 

The matches consisted of 60 innings and were played in traditional white clothes and red balls. They were all played during the day and there were no day/night matches.

 

Semi-Finals

In the first semi-final at Old Trafford on June 22, England won the toss and chose to bat. England’s batsmen were unable to play the Indian speedsters and were bowled out for 213, Graeme Fowler was the top scorer for England with 33 from 59 balls, 3 for four and Kapil Dev took 3-35 in eleven overs. Mohinder Amarnath and Roger Binny also shared two wickets each. In reply, Yashpal Sharma and Sandeep Patil scored half-centuries as India reached the target in 54.4 overs to win by 6 wickets in a classic game. Mohinder Amarnath for his all-round performance was awarded player of the match, adding 46 runs to his previous bowling (2/27 from 12 overs) figures.

 

The second semi-final between Pakistan and West Indies was played at the Oval on the same day. West Indies won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat and they only managed to score 184 in 60 overs for the loss of 8 wickets. Mohsin Khan was the only Pakistani batsman to reach 50, he scored 70 off 176 balls, 1 four. Malcolm Marshall (3/28) and Andy Roberts (2/25) were the top performers with the ball for the Caribbean team. West Indies innings was built on a brilliant show by Man of the Match winner Viv Richards (96-ball 80, 11 fours, 1 six) and Larry Gomes’ unbeaten half-century (50 balls). 100 balls, 3 fours) as the defending champions reached the target for the loss of just two wickets. 

 

Finals

The final of the 83 World Cup is one of the most spectacular matches in cricket history, India lost the toss and was asked to bat first against the West Indies. Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Mohinder Amarnath were the only batters who offered any significant resistance as Roberts, Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding tore through the Indian batsmen. The opposition allowed India to collect only 183 (all out, 54.4 overs). In reply,  Indian bowling took full advantage of the weather and pitch conditions to bowl out West Indies for 140 runs in 52 overs and won the final by 43 runs. It remains the lowest total successfully defended in a World Cup final ever. Amarnath and Madan Lal took three wickets each. Viv Richards was the top scorer for the West Indies with 33 from 28 balls. Amarnath was once again awarded man of the match for his outstanding all-round play.

Achieve Your Ideal Body Shape with Dr. Vinod Vij’s Cutting-Edge Body Contouring Treatments

TheIndiaSaga Team |

Advancements in medical research, especially in plastic surgery and other non-invasive approaches have made it possible to get a desired body shape and image, especially for people who wish to get their preferred shape and live with confidence.

Dr. Vinod Vij, a renowned plastic surgeon in Mumbai, states, ‘Body contouring treatments have emerged as reliable and highly effective solutions to address sagging contours, lax skin, and cellulite and fat deposits. They help transform the body shape and improve the appearance per the patient’s expectations. As a treating plastic surgeon, I perform surgical and non-surgical procedures for body transformation depending on patients’ expectations.

Body contouring can be performed on select body areas, such as the waistline, abdomen, buttocks, thighs etc, for reshaping and redefining the body shape. It is advisable to seek an expert, board-certified plastic surgeon to perform the body contouring procedure.

Patients should approach a plastic surgeon to discuss their condition and the type of body transformation or shape they expect. The plastic surgeon will highlight the desired outcomes and recommend the procedures for attaining the same.

He performs all body contouring procedures such as thigh lifts, a surgical procedure to tighten the underlying tissues and skin due to aging and weight reduction. The breast lift procedure helps to lift and reshape sagging breasts. The plastic surgeon removes extra skin, tightening the tissues and repositioning the nipple and areola. This procedure is also known as mastopexy.

According to India’s leading plastic surgeons, the surgical technique involves the removal of excess skin, along with the tightening of tissues and the repositioning of the nipple and areola. This procedure is commonly referred to as mastopexy.

Brachioplasty or arm lift removes the excess fat and loose skin from the upper arms and gives them a definite shape. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a procedure in which the surgeon tightens the abdominal muscles by removing extra fat and skin in the abdominal area. Dr. Vinod Vij recommends a tummy tuck procedure for people with projecting stomachs, loose skin, or stretch marks in the abdomen.

The mummy makeover procedure involves a series of techniques, such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, Liposuction and so on, to overcome the bodily changes due to pregnancy and childbirth. The decision to go ahead with a tummy tuck is recommended only after the women have completed their pregnancy phase.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure in which the doctor uses suction to remove the fat deposition from the neck, thighs, hips and arms. The surgeon makes small incisions to extract the fat, giving the body a defined look and feel.

Fat transfer is another surgical procedure that involves removing fat from one part of the body and injecting it elsewhere to enhance its appearance; for instance, fat from the thigh or the stomach area is used to uplift the breasts, buttocks or breasts.

Dr. Vinod Vij also does non-invasive body contouring, also known as minimally invasive procedures, as they do not require anesthesia or incisions, and the patient can recover in a significantly shorter period. Plastic surgeons recommend these procedures as per their suitability with the patient and the scope for better outcomes.

Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting) is a procedure in which the fat cells are frozen and destroyed through controlled chilling. This process removes fat from the abdomen, thighs, double chin and excess fat above the hips and abdomen area. In Laser Lipolysis, laser-assisted Liposuction, or laser fat reduction procedure, the surgeon uses laser energy to liquefy the fat cells. Heat is passed through the laser to dissolve and eliminate the fat cells.

As the name suggests, Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments use radiofrequency to heat and tighten the skin of the abdomen, thighs, arms and face while contouring them simultaneously. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) dissolves fat cells using ultrasound energy that heats, reduces, and tightens the targeted area.

Dr. Vinod Vij also treats abdominal fat using Kybella, a type of injectable fat dissolver. Kybella is an artificial version of deoxycholic acid administered into select areas such as the chin to reduce accumulated therein.

Dr. Vinod Vij shares a patient story of a 35 YO female wishing to remove stubborn fat to contour her body. Dr. Vinod Vij recommended Liposuction, which she proceeded with. She was pleased with the results and her improved body shape. She regained her confidence and self-esteem. Dr. Vinod Vij states,’ Liposuction is a safe surgical procedure which optimal results, fast recovery. Hence, I recommend patients who wish for a well-toned body fit to undergo a surgical procedure.

He asserts that a body contouring procedure does help to boost the self-esteem and confidence of the patient as it a safe and effective solution provided it is performed by an expert plastic surgeon.  The patient too, should clearly discuss the reason for proceeding with a body contour procedure along with their expectations and having a clear picture of the likely outcome.
