Alarplasty can reduce the alar flaring and nostril size.

Which kind of rhinoplasty for you
It is probably wrong to think about what kind of rhinoplasty is right for you, rather think about what changes are appropricate for your face and features.

Based on the frontal photos provided, you would need at least alar reduction and tip reshaping. If you did only alar reshaping and reduction, my concern is that your tip would then look disproportionate for your face.
