Is it possible to slim down a nasal tip without the use of a tip graft? Would defatting, cephalic trim, or other be enough?

Bulbous tip with thick skin. Would defatting of the tip, cephalic trim, and/or tip cartilage suture be enough to narrow down and give the tip of the nose a slightly more contoured shape? Not looking for a drastic change, just very very slight and subtle.
