What is the best certification for the doctor to have for facelift surgery?

ShouldI
Everything I read says the number one thing to look for in a plastic surgeon is that they are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. But isn't this for general plastic surgery? I am looking for someone trained specifically in Facelift surgeries. I have found several who say they are certified by the American Board of FACIAL Plastic Surgery. Does this mean they have the ABPS certification also? Which is more important for facelift surgeries? I am very confused!
