How much pain is acceptable for Tumescent Liposuction?

lklangdiaz
I had a tumescent liposuction procedure, which was intended to cover upper abdominal, love handles, bra back and side rolls, and hip 5 areas. It was so horrendously painful [8 on a 10 pt scale], that we had to stop, after 3 only areas. I was given one Xanax prior, and then another midway. I was told there would be some discomfort, but I felt every thrust. I did notice that the Dr. credential is PA-C Liposculpture Specialis. I want to be fair, but I am not sure what that would be. Your thoughts?
