What Are my Options for Building Up the Bridge of my Nose?

Los Angeles, CA
From the side, the bridge of my nose is lower than the tip. From the front, my tip is rather round (take a look at my other post for a front-view photo). I'd like to make my tip look thinner from the front while building up the bridge slightly, just so my nose makes a straight line from the tip to between my eyes. Which is the best option - using nasal cartilage, ear cartilage, or a silicone/Gore-tex implant? Also, will thinning the tip increase the spread of my nostrils (which I don't want)?
