Smart Dimensions

The practice runs from a Newport Beach office on Von Karman Avenue and a second location on North Rose Drive in Placentia. Its surgery centers are in Corona Del Mar and Fountain Valley, and its hospital program sites include Memorial Care Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Chapman Global Medical Center in Orange, Fountain Valley Regional Medical Center, and Foothill Regional Medical Center in Tustin. The locations are set up to serve South Orange County cities such as Mission Viejo, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente.

Bariatric surgery includes gastric sleeve, which removes about 70 percent of the stomach and leaves a banana-shaped pouch with the intestines intact; gastric bypass, performed through small incisions and altering the stomach and intestines; revision surgery for band-to-sleeve, sleeve revision, sleeve-to-bypass and bypass revision cases, often involving inadequate weight loss or weight regain; and robotic gastric sleeve surgery. Non-surgical options are endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, endoscopic bypass revision (TORe), and a gastric balloon. The practice also offers treatment for gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). Its medical weight loss program, the Smart Journey, combines behavior therapy, nutrition education, exercise instruction and medical monitoring, with follow-up visits to check dosage and answer questions. Skinny Shot, a once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agonist injection, is offered for weight loss and type 2 diabetes management.

Liposuction uses a thin cannula across many areas, including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, knees, ankles, neck and buttocks. Arm contouring (arm lift) and thigh contouring (thigh lift) remove loose skin and excess fat. Body contouring after weight loss combines a tummy tuck, liposuction, arm lift and thigh lift, and the practice states that doing these in one appointment shortens recovery.

The clinic's aesthetic menu covers peptide treatments, Quantum RF, Morpheus8, Botox, JUVÉDERM fillers, Fusion/CoolPeel, fractional laser, ZO Skin Health, and Body Tite or Face Tite. Skincare and weight loss supplements are also sold through the practice's online shops.

A free initial consultation is offered by phone or text at 949-432-9002. It covers appearance goals, a review of medical history, an exam and possibly lab tests before any surgical plan is made, and photographs may be taken for reference. Surgeons go over preparation, recovery and cost during the visit; gastric sleeve pricing is set case by case, with no fixed price listed. A free insurance check is offered, along with payment plans and financing through Cherry, which lists 0% APR options and interest-bearing plans with APRs as low as 5.99%. The practice says the Smart Dimensions program is recognized as a Center of Excellence by the ASMBS and that its surgeons have performed more than 14,000 weight loss procedures.

Weight loss plans are tailored to each patient and monitored over time, with education and support provided alongside surgical and non-surgical options. The practice says its procedures are meant to work with the body's hormones rather than against them.
