Reducing Thickness of Flesh/skin Around Nostrils

issa
I am Asian with a rather fleshy nose with a bulbous tip. My rhinoplasty has improved my tip definition. However, i notice my alars(which are also very fleshy) look more prominent and bigger now. I also did alar reduction, however it was done minimally as my wide alars were due to thick skin and not due to large nostrils. Is there anyway i can thin the skin around my nostrils to make it more balanced? Will the nose/nostrils skin naturally become thinner as I grow older? Thanks!
