Cosmetic Rhinoplasty in Hampshire: Balancing Form and Function
Your nose is one of the most defining features of your face. If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about its shape or size, or have difficulty breathing through your nose, rhinoplasty can improve both appearance and function.
At Hampshire ENT clinics and Adnova Clinic in Fareham, our consultant ENT and facial plastic surgeon (Mr Tim Biggs) provide expert cosmetic rhinoplasty for patients across Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, and Salisbury.
We combine surgical precision with aesthetic artistry to deliver natural-looking, balanced results that enhance both confidence and breathing.
👃 What Is Cosmetic Rhinoplasty?
Cosmetic rhinoplasty (often called a “nose job”) reshapes the nose to improve facial harmony. It can address:
A prominent nasal hump or dorsal bump
A bulbous or drooping tip
A crooked or asymmetric nose
A wide nasal base or nostrils
Subtle irregularities from trauma or previous surgery
Our approach always balances form and function, refining appearance while maintaining or improving nasal breathing.
⚕️ Functional and Cosmetic Benefits
Many people seeking cosmetic rhinoplasty also have structural nasal issues, such as a deviated septum or nasal valve collapse.
At the Adnova Clinic and Hampshire ENT clinic, we frequently combine functional septorhinoplasty with cosmetic refinements, ensuring lasting results both inside and out.
🛠️ Modern Rhinoplasty Techniques
Our consultants use advanced, evidence-based surgical techniques, including:
Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty – reshapes the bridge while preserving support
Piezo ultrasonic rhinoplasty – precision bone sculpting with less bruising and swelling
Open or closed approaches, tailored to your anatomy and goals
All surgery is consultant-led, performed in the Adnova Clinic, a state of the art cosmetic centre in Fareham, Hampshire, with continuity of care before and after surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
What is cosmetic rhinoplasty?
Cosmetic rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose to improve facial balance and appearance. It can address concerns such as a nasal hump, drooping or bulbous tip, asymmetry, or wide nostrils, while aiming for a natural, proportionate result.
Can rhinoplasty also improve breathing?
Yes. Many patients have underlying structural problems such as a deviated septum or nasal valve weakness. Cosmetic rhinoplasty can be combined with functional septorhinoplasty to improve both appearance and nasal airflow.

Where is the surgery performed?

What happens at the initial consultation?
Your consultation includes a detailed discussion of goals, facial balance, nasal function, and what is realistically achievable. Examination of the nose and breathing is essential before recommending surgery.
Is rhinoplasty a day-case procedure?
Yes. Rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anaesthetic as a day-case, allowing you to return home the same day.

Most visible swelling and bruising settles within 2–3 weeks. Subtle swelling continues to improve over time, with final results typically seen at 6–12 months.
Will my results look natural?
The aim is always a result that suits your face, rather than an “operated” appearance. Surgical planning prioritises balance, proportion, and long-term structural support.
