Reducing Alar Base Without Reducing Nostril Size?

meagan3
Is it possible to reduce the alar base without reducing nostril size? I want a thinner alar base, but I don't know if it's possible. I don't have any flare to my nostrils at all, and my nostrils are already small (breathing is sortof important). Is there a procedure that will reduce my width at the base without compromising my nostril size/breathing?
