I found a Doctor that is doing a procedure where cartilage is implanted. He is in the San Diego area, and invented the procedure. I have been in contact with his office and was told that he has been doing it for 6-8 years and it is not currently covered by insurance and the cost would begin around 40K. Perhaps he is teaching other Doctors this procedure and it would be approved so that insurance would cover it.
Here is the link to an article on the Doctor and procedure:
