How Long Can I Expect Scars from Alar Reduction on Nose to Last?

I went for an alar reduction on my nose abt two months before. I was told scarring is to be expected along the boundaries of my nose and face. It has already greatly improved compared to the first few weeks after but it's still noticeable from the redness. Can I just ask how long will it take for it to fade? Also, is it normal for the scar to feel slightly elevated?
