Why Am I Having Hot Flashes After my Mastopexy (Breast Lift) Without Implants

I am exactly 10 days post-op from having a breast lift and for some reason I seem to be having episodes of intense heat in my breast area that last for about 15 minutes to 30 mins. This is the third day that this has happened and it happens randomly. I remember flashing after my hysterectomy when they gave me a shot to send my into early menopause, I only did one of them because those flashes drove me bonkers. I know in my post op paperwork it said no ice pack so UGH!! The agony!
