Exparel pain shot for Tummy Tuck. Is it similar to what the dentist gives? Does it have epinephrine?

I am getting the Experal pain shot for a tummy tuck. When I get a shot to numb my mouth from the dentist my heart rate goes up and I feel nervous for about 15 minutes with upset stomach. My dentist always says that a lot of people have that reaction to the epinephrine in the shot. I’m nervous about being put to sleep and an adverse reaction to the Experal pain shot.
