A plastic surgeon assured me liposuction was pain free if I did it awake. Is this true or did I suffer for nothing?

Hello. I got a bbl and lipo at the same time. The doctor assured the procedure was going to be in a surgery room, but they took me to a cunsultatuon room in his office. They gave me a pill to relax, and he started working on me without anesthesia. He said the liquid inserted was anesthesia. A nurse helped him do the procedure, the whole time he was next to her telling her what to do. He didn’t give me any ivy or anything more. The nurse didn’t wear gloves when she was puting on my bandages.
