Would an alarplasty or rhinoplasty help me achieve my desired result? Concerned about flared nostrils (photos)

Asked By:Peaceful283349 in Singapore, Singapore

Hi there, I'm a 21-year-old East Asian female who weighs around 47kg and stands at around 162cm. I'm keen on getting a nose job to reduce the size of my nose. My main concern is my nostrils, which I think are too big and flared. However, I'm not sure if I'd be able to achieve smaller nostrils and the appearance of a smaller nose overall through alarplasty alone. Could someone advise me based on my pictures? Thank you so much.
