Staff Spotlight: Mr Tim Biggs
Consultant ENT Surgeon | Rhinology & Facial Plastics
At Hampshire ENT Clinics, we are proud to spotlight Mr Tim Biggs, a Consultant ENT Surgeon with a subspecialty interest in rhinology and facial plastic surgery, and one of the most experienced nasal surgeons on the South Coast.
A Leading Nasal Surgeon on the South Coast
Mr Biggs runs the largest rhinoplasty practice on the South Coast, providing both functional and cosmetic nasal surgery for patients from across Hampshire, the South of England, and beyond.
His practice focuses on highly specialised nasal surgery, including:
Functional septorhinoplasty for nasal obstruction
Cosmetic rhinoplasty
Complex revision rhinoplasty
Advanced nasal reconstruction
Patients are often referred to Mr Biggs for challenging primary cases and revisions, particularly where both breathing and appearance must be addressed together.
National Expertise in Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty
Mr Biggs is recognised as a dorsal preservation rhinoplasty specialist, and is one of only a handful of surgeons nationally with extensive experience in this modern technique.
Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty:
Maintains the natural nasal bridge rather than removing it
Preserves long-term structural stability
Produces natural, elegant results
Often leads to reduced swelling and faster recovery
He was among the early adopters of dorsal preservation techniques in the UK and introduced dorsal preservation and piezo rhinoplasty into his NHS practice, helping modernise nasal surgery locally and regionally.
Advanced Techniques: Piezo (Ultrasonic) Rhinoplasty
Mr Biggs routinely uses piezoelectric (ultrasonic) rhinoplasty, an advanced technique that allows:
Extremely precise bone reshaping
Less trauma to surrounding soft tissues
Reduced bruising and swelling
Improved accuracy and symmetry
These techniques are particularly valuable in complex nasal deformity, asymmetry, and revision surgery, where precision is critical.
Strong Academic and Research Background
Alongside his clinical practice, Mr Biggs has a strong academic profile:
PhD in mucosal immunology
Over 60 peer-reviewed scientific publications
Ongoing interest in evidence-based surgery and outcomes research
This academic foundation underpins his measured, anatomy-respecting surgical philosophy, ensuring that techniques are not only modern, but scientifically sound and durable.
A Balanced Functional and Aesthetic Approach
A defining feature of Mr Biggs’ practice is his commitment to nasal function. He believes that excellent cosmetic outcomes must never come at the expense of breathing.
Every rhinoplasty assessment includes:
Detailed evaluation of nasal airflow
Structural analysis of the septum and nasal valves
Consideration of long-term stability and function
This integrated approach is particularly important for patients with:
Long-standing nasal blockage
Previous failed septoplasty
Post-traumatic deformity
Revision rhinoplasty concerns

Mr Biggs provides specialist nasal surgery through:
Hampshire ENT Clinics – consultant-led ENT and rhinology care

Less bruising and swelling
Reduced trauma to soft tissues
Greater accuracy in complex or asymmetric noses
He was among the first surgeons to introduce piezo rhinoplasty into NHS practice locally.
Do you have to choose between cosmetic results and good breathing?
No. A core principle of Mr Biggs’ practice is that nasal function must be protected or improved.
Every rhinoplasty assessment includes:
Detailed airflow and valve assessment
Septal and structural analysis
Planning for long-term breathing stability
Many patients undergo combined functional and cosmetic septorhinoplasty.
Does Mr Tim Biggs perform revision rhinoplasty?
Yes. A significant part of his practice involves revision rhinoplasty, including:
Persistent nasal blockage after previous surgery
Cosmetic concerns from earlier rhinoplasty
