I had lip injections today and I was told not to use ice on them even if swelling occurred. Why would ice not be recommended?

Lips are swollen but not out of the normal range. I feel ice would help, but I was told not to put ice on them. Do you know why some Docs would recommend such a thing with injection of lips with Restalyne?
