As a global leader in laser liposuction and body contouring, Sono Bello is proud to employ over 125 board-certified plastic & cosmetic surgeons. All our doctors possess a wealth of experience and specialized knowledge that they use to enhance our patients’ lives by improving their self-image. 

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. Following the completion of her residency, she acquired the highly sought-after accredited fellowship position in general body and facial cosmetic surgery at New Look New Life Cosmetic Surgical Arts® in New York City, accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. 

In addition to being an accredited surgeon, Elena holds a bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and a medical degree from Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Vallejo, California, just north of her home city of Fresno, California.   

Despite being a native Californian, Dr. Vega has spent most of her professional career based on the east coast. 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. Follow her on Instagram @ dr.elenavega to keep up with her many personal and professional adventures.
