Nerve Damage After Smart Lipo?

Can Smart Lipo produce nervous system damage on your hips area? I had it 8 days ago and, due to a horrendous clinic staff, my anesthesia wore off and I felt excruciating pain during the surgery.

The pain made me jump and twist at least twice just when the surgeon was working on my right and left back side. First, he tried to cover up but now he is offering me Dermawave. He thinks it's nerve pain; Is it permanent? Help!
