Would a rhinoplasty take care of the sides of my nose? (photo)

reddle
There are a number of things I'd like to correct about my nose (bulbous tip, wide base, wide nostrils) but I'm most concerned about the bony sides of the bridge. Are these considered the dorsal sidewalls? I'm not sure what the correct term for them is, or if they're even considered a part of the nose. But I do feel that the "height" of this bony area makes my upper nose seem very chunky and masculine. Do rhinoplasties typically take care of this part of the face?
