Reducing nostril flare and changing "nostril angle"? (photo)

Bealzibub
Hi, I am considering getting rhinoplasty. I am a male 18 years old. My biggest concerns are bulbous nose and wide flaring nostrils. Please have a look at the image attached. I want to reduce the size of my nostril/flare but at the same time, move the base of nostril in upward direction. How would that be done? I have read about alar base reduction but I assume that would bring the alar base in horizontal direction which would make my nose look like a pigs nose.
