Wide, flat nose rhinoplasty
From the photo you submitted I can see that your tip does appear somewhat wide compared with the rest of your nose. It's impossible to assess the flatness you describe without additional views of the nose, including a profile.
Rhinoplasty can be used to improve the tip fullness and if needed it can also improve the projection of the nose to futher enhance the appearance.

Based on your photo, it is hard to provide you with a solid opinion about what could be done to improve your nose as well as you overall facial features; physical examination is required to provide you with the best solution possible.

Small but wide nose
A skinnier nose can be achieved with different procedures. A rhinoplasty procedure involves narrowing the nasal bones through osteotomies. Flat tip cartilages are best addressed by suturing techniques to give more projection and dimension to better balance with the remainder of the nasal components. This can all be done through closed rhinoplasty techniques under general anesthesia.

Yes Your Small, Wide Nose With a Good Bridge Can Be Mae Skinnier
It is hard to answer your question without seeing your entire face. A great nose balances and harmonizes with the rest of the features on your face.

A consult that includes computer imaging would be helpful because it would show you what you would look like if your nose were changed. This way, you...

Narrow Nose
The photo does not show the entire nose, but the dimensions already seem pretty reasonable. However, your nose can be make "more" narrow by adjusting the bony mid-nose. Osteotomies can be used to shift your bones toward the mid-line.

From your photograph it is difficult understand the complete anatomical features that you are trying to correct. It is possible to reduce the size of the underlying cartilages and in this fashion the overall size of your nose can be reduced.

Skinny nose with surgery?
Obviously the tissue thickness can not be improved upon. However, if the tip is bulbous because the cartilages are wide, then this can often be improved. A consultation will allow for a better evaluation.

You Can Make Your Tip More Defined
When I look at your picture, the tip of you nose appears "rounded and soft". In undergoing a tip rhinoplasty, I would suggest taking steps to define the tip to achieve a nose that "fits" your face. Many times to achieve this result, we have to project or make to tip come out farther from the face. I am not sure that would be an option for you since I cannot see a profile picture.
I hope this helps!
