What is the Safest Material for Asian Nose Bridge Augmentation? (Rhinoplasty)

Montebello1346
I've heard of Goretex, Silicone, and cartilidge for augmentation of an asian nose bridge. What are the respective costs of each material and in your opinion the safety/effectiveness in the short and long term of these materials. mostly I would like permanency and a low risk of infection. For a very flat nose bridge that needs a significant augmentation, which material sounds good?
