Is There a Rx or OTC Drug That Will Reduce Abdominal or Thigh Swelling?

I had lipo performed on my abdomen, flanks, and inner & outer thighs a few weeks ago. My tummy looks about one inch smaller, and my thighs are still rubbing together. I am still transitioning my diet, and am concerned as to why i'm still so large. -Is it possible to gain weight back in the lipo'd areas A.) so quickly and B.) at all? - I've been practically overdosing on Arnica tablets to assist with the swelling, but they're not doing anything. Is there something else thats effective?
