Face flushed after surgery?

Ever since my surgery a month ago my cheeks seem to have a permanent rosy color, just as if I were blushing. Has anyone else had this? What is it?

Post RNY - I developed that too.  Then I found out it is rosecea.

In my case it is broken small vessels - I use Vit K cream to help that.  Also - go see a doc - dermatologist.

When I was in the hospital I had it across my cheeks big time.  I'm trying to remember what my surgeon told me, it was something I wasn't doing and she got after me about it.  I THINK it was the breather gadget you have to use after surgery?  Yes, I think that's what it was.  She really got after me about it, told me to use it.  That's the only thing I can think of I wasn't doing enough of but I had the flushed look to.
