I am a Consultant Surgeon who specialises in conditions of the nose and sinuses. I am an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeon at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust and Rhinoplasty/Septorhinoplasty Surgeon exclusively at Adnova, Hampshire (near Winchester, Southampton & Portsmouth).
I undertake a variety of complex nasal surgeries, including functional endoscopic sinus surgery, frontal sinus surgery, orbital decompression, endoscopic sinonasal cancer resection; but my main interest and passion lies in Rhinoplasty/Septorhinoplasty. I have a large NHS practice, which means I undertake these surgeries on a weekly basis. I am certified as a cosmetic nasal surgeon through the Royal College of Surgeons. I use a number of techniques not widely available on the nhs or privately, including dorsal preservation, piezo (ultrasonic) and donor rib reconstruction.
Mr Tim Biggs
MB BCh DOHNS PhD FRCS (ORL-HNS)
I qualified from Cardiff University and after an initial career as a British Army Medical Officer and completing my basic surgical training, I was awarded a highly competitive NIHR Acadmic Training Pathway in Otolaryngology (ENT). I completed my higher surgical training in the Wessex Deanery, specialising in Rhinology and Facial Plastics. Towards the end of my training, following the completion of a PhD in Rhinology, I was awarded and completed the national British Rhinology Society (BRS) Advanced Rhinology Fellowship, and following this an Advanced Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery Fellowship (including Rhinoplasty and skin cancer) at Winchester, Andover and Southampton Hospital.
I have published over 60 peer reviewed articles, undertaken over 30 national/international presentations, and been awarded over 25 prizes & fellowships. I am on the specialist GMC register for Otolaryngology (ENT), a member of ENT-UK, and the British Society of Facial Plastic Surgery.
I am certified as a cosmetic nasal surgeon through the Royal College of Surgeons.
I offer the following surgeries at the Adnova Clinic (daycase surgery centre): Rhinoplasty / Septorhinoplasty, Piezo (ultrasonic bone sculpture), cosmetic, structural, open, preservation, tip plasty and revision, including rib reconstruction and fascia lata. I also perform septoplasty, which is a smaller procedure aimed at improving the nasal airway, without changing the outside shape of the nose. Although I perform complex FESS/sinus surgery in my NHS practice, I do not undertake these surgeries privately.
