Medial Epicanthoplasty Scar Is Still White and Raised 3 Months Post Op- Is This Normal? (photo)

I did medial epicanthoplasty on 6 oct 2011, it's nearly 3 months now, the scar has turned white, but it is still very obvious and hypertropic (raised) on my left eye. On my right eye, the bottom incision is red but flat, and the top is raised and white. Will the scar be permanent? Is there anyway to improve, heal or remove the scar? I have tried scar esthetique, but it did not help much.
