Alar reduction is not enough to get the desired nose you want.
If you have an alar reduction it will make your already very wide tip look even wider. If you have the bulbosity of your tip reduced at the same time that would be a better plan.

Alar reduction
The tip boulbosity is what I see as the major problem. Reducing this would achieve a natural result. Alar reduction would be to extreme in my opinion.

Alar reduction alone would result in a pinched look
Alar reduction alone would result in a pinched look to your nose and would probably make the situation worse. By breathing in to get the look you want you are closing at the internal nasal valve, not the external nasal valve (or the alae). The look you desire would require a more extensive rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty Consultation
Dear Bernhard, I my opinion you need several things addressed to provide the proper aesthetic result to your nose. Alar reduction or alar reduction alone is not the answer here. I suggest a good consultation with a rhinoplasty expert to discuss your options. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
