What can be done to reshape the nostrils?

SpringIsComing
What can be done to the nostrils to reshape them (to make them slimmer and less round, for example)? Is making them less wide (alar base reduction) the only technique used on nostrils to change them, or can they be trimmed and reshaped the way the rest of the nose cartilage can?
