Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Hawaii

On a post op post mastectomy visit to administer saline to my expander, the doctor with out discussing or saying anything to me, removed my nipple! I did not know this until showering the next day did I see my nipple was removed. I almost fainted-litteraly! It was devistating. I knew nothing about the proceedure and signed no consent. Is what he did right?
