Am I a good candidate for a stand-alone alarplasty to narrow my wide nostrils, or do I need rhinoplasty? Anything else? (Photo)

I'd prefer to get a complete rhinoplasty to improve my nose overall, but can't afford the procedure with the surgeon I'd choose. I think narrowing my nostrils might provide a satisfying, yet much more affordable result in the meantime, but I'm worried about the effect a stand-alone alarplasty could have on the rest of my nose. Are there any indicators of what flow-on effects I could expect from this procedure by itself? What else could I do to improve my face, aesthetically, otherwise? Thanks
