In this particular case, I think you are probably in good shape, as long as you have access to some of his before and after photos as well as the ability to speak with some of his patients about their experience. I think in general, being Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is a good first step to selecting your plastic surgeon, but I agree that just because someone is Board-Certified does not mean they are by definition an exceptional breast surgeon. Also, overseas training is different in different countries, but certainly countries such as Britain, Canada, Australia, South Africa, among others, train some exceptional surgeons.
If you feel comfortable with him, and like his results, I think you will probably be ok; alternatively, You may want to seek a second opinion just to set your mind at ease.
Good luck!
