7 weeks post TT with lipo on my arms and back, and my back heats up whenever I move while sleeping. Is this normal?

michellm
I am 7 weeks post op. I had a Tummy Tuck and lipo on my arms and back. At night while sleeping, when I move my back heats up for a minute or two until I stop moving. My back really gets hot then it goes away, No redness. I also get hot a lot, but I sit in front of the A/C and cool off. My sister and Mom have started saying, I stay hot, they have noticed the change. I don't have a fever. Is this normal?
