About me

Mr Tim Biggs
MB BCh, DOHNS, PhD, FRCS (ORL-HNS)
Consultant ENT Surgeon | Specialist in Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery
Website: www.timbiggs.co.uk

I am a fellowship-trained Consultant ENT Surgeon with a subspecialist interest in Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery. My NHS practice is based at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth. Privately I provide services at the Adnova Clinic, Fareham, and Medicana Winchester.

I trained in the Wessex Deanery through the NIHR Academic Clinical Programme, completing a PhD in Rhinology before undertaking advanced fellowships in Rhinology, Anterior Skull Base, and Facial Plastic Surgery. I am certified in Cosmetic Nasal Surgery by the Royal College of Surgeons and am on the GMC Specialist Register for Otolaryngology.

I have published over 60 peer-reviewed articles, delivered more than 30 national and international presentations, and received over 25 academic awards. I am a member of ENT UK, the British Society of Facial Plastic Surgery and the British Society of Rhinoplasty Surgeons.

I regularly perform the following surgeries:
Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Primary open rhinoplasty/septorhinoplasty
Septorhinoplasty (functional, cosmetic, and combined)
Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty
Piezo (ultrasonic) rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty (including complex revision using rib grafts, fascia lata, and titanium implants)
Structural rhinoplasty
Tip refinement and support techniques
Septoplasty (functional nasal airway improvement)
Nasal valve reconstruction
Turbinate reduction (powered endoscopic turbinoplasty)
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
Image-guided FESS
Complex/revision sinus surgery
Frontal sinus surgery: Draf I, Draf IIa/IIb, Draf III (Endoscopic Modified Lothrop Procedure)
Polypectomy for nasal polyps
Fungal sinusitis management
Extended sinus surgery for recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis
Endoscopic surgery for sinonasal tumours
Orbital decompression surgery for thyroid eye disease
Endoscopic septal surgery for perforation or deviation
Nasal fracture manipulation and realignment
Nasal endoscopy and biopsy (diagnostic/therapeutic)
Management of epistaxis (incl. endoscopic cautery, SPA ligation, anterior ethmoid ligation)
Nasal allergy and smell loss treatment (non-surgical management)
Postnasal drip/vasomotor rhinitis management (including Clarifix)

Privately I undertake consultation and surgery at two main sites:

Adnova clinic: At this specialist day case surgical centre, I offer cosmetic and functional nasal surgery including Rhinoplasty, Septorhinoplasty, Revision/Secondary Rhinoplasty, donor rib reconstruction, Piezo (ultrasonic bone sculpture), tip-plasty, dorsal preservation, open and structural approaches. This location does not accept insurance and is for self-pay patients only. You do not need a referral and can contact my secretary directly to book a consultation. I have a large Septorhinoplasty/Rhinoplasty practice and am the only surgeon in Hampshire who offers Piezo and dorsal preservation techniques.

Medicana Winchester: This location includes all other forms of nasal conditions, surgery (excluding Septorhinoplasty and Rhinoplasty), as well as more general ENT issues. I am registered with a number of insurance companies and accept self-pay patients too. Conditions managed include nasal blockage, post-nasal drip, nasal discharge, nasal allergies, acute and chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, fungal sinuses, nasal bleeding, nasal cancer assessment, acute nasal injury, loss of smell, and more general ENT problems.

Areas of interest

I regularly perform functional and cosmetic Rhinoplasty & Septorhinoplasty, including dorsal preservation, Piezo, structural, and complex revision rhinoplasty using rib grafts and fascia lata. My practice includes septoplasty, nasal valve reconstruction, turbinoplasty, and nasal fracture realignment. I manage advanced sinus disease with FESS (incl. image-guided and revision), frontal sinus surgery (Draf I-III), polypectomy, fungal sinusitis, sinonasal tumour resection, and orbital decompression. I also perform endoscopic septal surgery, epistaxis control (SPA/anterior ethmoid ligation), and diagnostic nasal endoscopy/biopsy. I offer non-surgical treatments for nasal allergy, smell loss, and vasomotor rhinitis (Clarifix). I also see and operate on patients with more general ENT problems.
