The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) has its own web site. That is the board that plastic surgeons are credentialed by. You must be board certified to be a member of certain societies. For instance, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The American Society for Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) both require ABPS certification. You may also go to these societies to see if they are members. You may also request/search the State Board of Health or Medicine to see if anyone has filed complaints or lawsuits about potential surgeons. These are all important, but none of the above dictates that they are good/skilled plastic surgeons. Just that they passed their tests, pay their dues and have not gotten into trouble. Ask to see many photos of before and after (enough for you to be comfortable) patients that they have done. Do not settle for one or two. For instance, my breast augmentation web sites have ~3000 before and after photos. I hope this helps. The best source of information is to go back to the websites.
