Facial flushing / hot face post removal

Questions

I see a fair few posts noting people have experienced facial flushing / hot face / rash across their cheeks after getting their gallbladder out, but it’s not clear to me if these were temporary or if people have lived with this continuously after getting their gallbladder out. Mid-30s F, didn’t have any of these symptoms before getting my gallbladder out via the ER, but I was also only 8 weeks post partum so that might be a factor as well. I asked my surgeon at my 2 week follow up and he literally shrugged and said dunno what that is, we didn’t touch your face…..appreciate any insights from anyone who’s experienced the same!
