Alarplasty without modifying nostrils - is this possible?

LHuan123
If I’m fine with the size of my nostrils, but the area surrounding my nostrils is more large and bulbous, is it possible to make this area smaller without affecting my actual nostril opening size? I think this is called an alarplasty but when I searched it, it seems to be that the alarplasty changes the actual nostril opening, which I don’t particularly want. Would a natural result still be able to be achieved, and is it more complicated/risky to do?
