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.
