Hampshire ENT Clinics Consultant Featured in The Telegraph
We are proud to share that one of our consultants at Hampshire ENT Clinics, Mr Tim Biggs, has been featured in The Telegraph for his specialist work in rhinoplasty and nasal surgery on the South Coast.
This feature highlights the evolution of modern rhinoplasty and the increasing demand for specialist, function-preserving nasal surgery performed by dedicated rhinology surgeons.
Specialist Rhinoplasty on the South Coast
Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex procedures in facial surgery, requiring a detailed understanding of both nasal appearance and nasal breathing. As a Consultant ENT Surgeon with a subspecialty interest in rhinology and facial plastics, Mr Biggs’ practice focuses exclusively on nasal and sinus surgery, including:
Cosmetic rhinoplasty
Functional septorhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty
Nasal valve surgery
Complex reconstructive rhinoplasty using cartilage grafts
Patients travel from across Hampshire, the South Coast, London, and further afield for specialist assessment and treatment.
Modern Rhinoplasty Techniques
The Telegraph feature also highlighted how rhinoplasty has changed significantly in recent years. Modern techniques focus on precision, preservation, and structural support, rather than aggressive removal of bone and cartilage.
Techniques used include:
Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
Ultrasonic technology allows nasal bones to be reshaped with extreme precision while minimising trauma to surrounding soft tissues. This can reduce bruising and swelling and improve recovery.
Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty
This technique reshapes the nose while preserving the natural dorsal lines and structural support of the nose, often producing more natural results and improved long-term stability.
Structural Rhinoplasty
Cartilage grafting is used where necessary to support the nose and improve breathing, particularly in septorhinoplasty and revision cases.
These techniques aim to achieve natural results while maintaining or improving breathing function.
Specialist Facilities at Adnova Clinic
Consultations and surgery take place at Adnova Clinic in Fareham, a specialist day-case surgical centre with modern facilities and advanced surgical technology. The clinic is recognised for its high standards of care and specialist focus on cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Telegraph Feature – Rhinoplasty on the South Coast
Why was Hampshire ENT Clinics featured in The Telegraph?
The Telegraph featured Mr Tim Biggs due to his specialist practice in rhinoplasty and nasal surgery, particularly the use of modern techniques such as Piezo ultrasonic rhinoplasty and dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, which are not yet widely available in all centres.
Who is Mr Tim Biggs?
Mr Tim Biggs is a Consultant ENT Surgeon with a subspecialty interest in rhinology and facial plastic surgery. He specialises in cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, and complex nasal reconstruction, and runs one of the largest specialist rhinoplasty practices on the South Coast.
What makes modern rhinoplasty different from traditional rhinoplasty?
Modern rhinoplasty focuses on:
Preserving nasal structure where possible
Improving breathing as well as appearance
Using precise technology such as Piezo ultrasonic instruments
Structural grafting to support long-term results
This approach often leads to more natural results and improved recovery.
What is Piezo rhinoplasty?
Piezo rhinoplasty uses ultrasonic vibration to reshape nasal bones with high precision. This allows accurate bone reshaping while reducing trauma to surrounding soft tissues, which can mean less bruising and swelling after surgery.
What is dorsal preservation rhinoplasty?
Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty reshapes the nose while preserving the natural bridge (dorsum) rather than removing and rebuilding it. This technique can produce more natural-looking results and helps maintain long-term nasal support.
Do you only perform cosmetic rhinoplasty?
No. Many patients require functional septorhinoplasty to improve breathing, sometimes combined with cosmetic changes. Mr Biggs performs both cosmetic and functional nasal surgery, including revision and reconstructive cases.
Where do consultations and surgery take place?
Rhinoplasty consultations and surgery are performed at Adnova Clinic in Fareham, a specialist day-case surgical centre with modern facilities and advanced surgical technology.
Do patients travel from outside Hampshire for rhinoplasty?
Yes. Many patients travel from across the South Coast, London, and other parts of the UK for specialist rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty.
How do I arrange a rhinoplasty consultation?
You can arrange a consultation by contacting the Adnova Clinic directly. During the consultation, your surgeon will assess both nasal appearance and breathing and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
