Maybe: Most plastic surgeons are capable of correcting bad results, but I am unaware of any surgeon that does only that. You probably want to find the most experienced surgeons in your area.

No board of botched: Surgeons are more likely to specialize in a region. For example rhinoplasty experts will have experienced with botched nose surgery whereas experts in breast augmentation are mor likely to be experienced in correcting botched breast surgery. There is no board specialization in botched surgery correction.

Possible: There are doctors who fix unfortunate results of plastic surgery, but i don't believe anyone specializes in that alone. If you find an expert in any field, they should be able to help you with corrective surgery as well. Good luck.

Not usually: Surgeons use a variety of instruments or hardware in the operating room. Sometimes we will show patients what an implant looks like, or other object that is specialized, but the run of the mill equipment is not usually shown.

Do you have to pay for surgery in a public county hospital?

Of course: Of course, why not? Medical care is not free, even at public hospitals. All the "public" in public hospitals means is that the government owns and runs the hospital. You still pay for all medical care either directly or through insurance (private or public).
