Photos, of the nasal tip front, side and from below would help in the evaluation but yes, the tip cartilages (ala) can be selectively shaped during Rhinoplasty using a Tip platy technique. You may way to consult with an experienced Rhinoplasty Surgeon that understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty for a natural, more attractive nose.

Rhinoplasty for the minimal deformity can be done but I would need to see full photos of the nose to give a proper opinion.

If the bottom of your nostril alae are flaring, that can be corrected, and is performed commonly. A small alar base resection is performed and leaves a small scar in the crease of the nose/cheek junction. It fades quite nicely.
