I recently spoke to someone that creates a stem cell product and it appears that if the Adult stem cells originate from the same person then no FDA approval is needed for this procedure. It is legal because it is just moving a person's own body tissue from one place to another.
There are already at least two products with FDA approval that take stem cells from the human body and process them for re-implantation.
All that is really needed is a doctor with access to these stem cell processing products who is willing to try this in the nose. Naturally this is difficult as there are very few doctors that are even willing to treat ENS.
These doctors are already using Adult Stem Cells in the clinic to treat orthopedic problems:

It is legal and cutting edge. Stem cells are used fairly routinely already in Horse injuries with great results. I do not know how far off it will be before we see this used in the nose but I believe it will happen.

Stem cells seem encouraging. They seem to be helpful in improving blood vessel formation, repairing and reducing scar tissue, and regenerating tissue. More importantly it appears safe around the eyes.
