Dr. Elena Vega is a key member of our surgical staff, specializing in body sculpting and custom cosmetic procedures. Dr. Vega takes the time to understand each of her patient’s unique set of goals and obstacles and works with them to uncover their inner beauty.
She is a board-certified General Surgeon by the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery, a board-certified Cosmetic Surgeon by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, and a fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.
Dr. Vega completed her general surgery residency in New York City at the Flushing Hospital Medical Center in Flushing, Queens.

She recently moved from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina with her lovely wife and two adorable puppies (one Pekingese and one Basset Hound). She says that she is excited to be a resident of the Queen City!
When she’s not in the operating room, Dr. Vega enjoys reading, playing tennis, going on road trips with her puppies, sampling local cuisine, mentoring medical students, and running her own injectables practice.
