Based on your somewhat limited photos, your nasal bones and dorsum (bridge) appear wide but also low and under-projected. The most comprehensive approach to improve the appearance of your wide nose would be to increase the projection of the tip and dorsum while also reshaping the ala and nostrils to be less flared, and to reduce the size of the tip of your nose. All these aspects could be achieved during rhinoplasty.

Either alar base narrowing (an office procedure) or alar base narrowing with rhinoplasty are procedures for permanent improvement or correction of the nasal aesthetic features distracting you.

Tip-plasty and Alarplasty

You can have the lower half of the nose (tip and nostrils) addressed without breaking the nasal bones. Tip-plasty can address the bulbous tip either through closed or open approach to make it narrow and refined.
Alarplasty is a very fine and quick procedure that can narrow the nostrils and reduce the flare to soften the appearance. It has other names as well like ‘Weir Excisions’ or ‘Nostril Reduction’. However, it is important to note that asymmetry of nostrils is common and cannot be corrected with alarplasty.
 Both of these can be done under local anethesia.

A wide nose can be addressed through rhinoplasty techniques that narrow the nasal bones, cartilage, or both, depending on the individual's anatomy. This may involve controlled osteotomies to refine the bridge or adjustments to the tip for a more balanced appearance.
A consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist is essential to assess your specific needs and develop a personalized plan that achieves natural and harmonious results.

The pictures are not adequate in order to make a determination about what you may or may not need. If you're just looking to narrow your nostrils, an alar plasty can be performed under local anesthesia to accomplish narrowing. Osteotomies placed in the nasal bones can accomplish narrowing a bridge line.
