2 Hour In-Office Rib Graft Removal Using Open Technique Under Local Anesthesia

TexasSuzie501
I had a Rib Revision Rhinoplasty using a columellar strut, dorsal graft, and spreader grafts in January 2011. The procedure has been very intense and has deformed my chest and left my nose hard, inflexible and painful. I requested a refund as well as my medical records, both of which my physician has refused to give me. My physician has countered my request by offering to remove the grafts in a 2 hour in-office procedure under local anest, using the open technique. Advice on how to proceed?
