Need Suggestion on Rhinoplasty? (photo)

I am going to have my rhinoplasty soon, Dr will work on tip projection, since the left nostril is higher than the right one, so work to bring it down. and columella straightenng for my tilted columella. I want to narrow down the dorsum breadth too but my doctor told me that narrowing down the dorsum will decrese the height of the nose . so he has suggested me on not going for narrowing dorsum , so is there any way I can narrow down the dorsum breadth, without affecting nose height.
