Breast Implant Revision, Cannot Find Right Surgeon? (photo)

I am in a terrible dilemma. I had a BA in 6/21/11. right implant bottomed out. Do not trust PS any longer and found out he's not certified by the American Board of plastic surgery. Got 2nd opinion and Dr wanted to open new incisions that will make it so that the old ones will show. Got 3rd opinion, Dr wants to put Silicone in and open new areolar incisions. Original BA placed saline implants over muscle. (was told they were under by original PS).Please is there an honest PS that can help me?
