Can You Reduce the Verticle Length of the Alar Wing?

davidvilla
When looking at my long nose and pushing my drooping tip up i noticed that a lot of the vertical length comes from the area where the alar wing connects to the cheek, when i pushed up on my alar wing it caused a raised curve, i noticed that my nose looked a lot shorter and i liked what i saw. Is it possible to shorten the vertical length of my alar wing?
