American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) or American College of Surgeons (FACS)?

ralphie13
I'm considering a breast augmentation, and am torn between three doctors. All of them are American Board of Plastic Surgery board certified, two are Fellows, American College of Surgeons, and one is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. All have great reviews in several different places. How important is a membership in the ASPS? Should it be a deciding factor? Thanks.
