I would like to reduce alar sidewall and correct deviated nasal tip/septum, but is alar sidewall reduction possible? (photos)

exparrot
I am a 28 year old female in pretty good health and with no prior h/o surgeries. My main concerns are a deviated nasal tip and/or septum (which displaces my nose toward the left) and asymmetrical thickness of my alar sidewalls, the right being much thicker/larger than the left. As I do have a slight dorsal hump, but with no desire to reduce it, can surgery address my concerns without affecting my dorsal hump? Also, is reducing alar sidewall thickness possible? Thanks in advance.
