Advanced techniques: not widely available in Hampshire

The techniques available at Adnova set it apart from most rhinoplasty providers in the Portsmouth and Hampshire region:

 

Piezo (ultrasonic) rhinoplasty

Piezo uses ultrasonic vibration to reshape nasal bones with precision that traditional hammer and chisel techniques cannot achieve. The key advantage is that ultrasound cuts bone selectively, leaving the surrounding soft tissues intact. For patients, this means significantly less bruising, less swelling, and faster return to normal life. Mr Biggs is one of a small number of UK rhinoplasty surgeons who use Piezo as their primary technique.

 

Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty

Dorsal preservation is a modern approach that removes a dorsal hump by lowering it into position rather than cutting it away entirely. By preserving the natural nasal framework, the result is more stable, heals more predictably, and looks more natural at long-term follow-up. Mr Biggs is currently the only surgeon in Hampshire using this technique routinely.

 

Revision and complex rhinoplasty

Approximately 30% of the rhinoplasty practice at Adnova consists of revision cases, including patients who have had unsuccessful surgery elsewhere in the UK or abroad. Revision rhinoplasty requires a higher level of technical skill and strategic planning. Where the nasal structure has been compromised, donor rib cartilage reconstruction may be used to restore both form and function.

 

Pricing — all-inclusive, no hidden costs

All surgery packages at the Adnova Clinic are fully inclusive of anaesthesia, hospital fees, medications, dressings, and unlimited post-operative follow-up consultations.

 

Initial consultation: £200 (all further consultations free)

Tip-plasty / columelloplasty: £7,250

Functional septorhinoplasty: £8,500

Secondary / complex rhinoplasty: £13,000

 

No GP referral is required for self-pay surgery. The Adnova Clinic does not accept insurance for rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty. For insurance-funded sinus or general ENT surgery, Mr Biggs also consults at Medicana Winchester — which accepts BUPA, Aviva, Vitality, Cigna, Allianz, and WPA.

 

— Frequently asked questions —

 

Is there a rhinoplasty surgeon near Portsmouth?

Yes. The Adnova Clinic in Fareham is the nearest dedicated rhinoplasty centre to Portsmouth, approximately 10 miles from the city centre. Mr Tim Biggs operates there as a consultant ENT rhinoplasty surgeon. He is the only surgeon in Hampshire with RCS Board Certification in cosmetic nasal surgery who also uses both Piezo and dorsal preservation techniques. Most Portsmouth patients find the journey takes around 20 minutes via the M27.

 

How far is the Adnova Clinic from Portsmouth city centre?

The Adnova Clinic is at Eagle Point, Little Park Farm Road, Fareham, PO15 5TD. It is approximately 10 miles from Portsmouth city centre, reached via the M27 westbound to Junction 9. There is free on-site parking. The journey from Portsmouth takes around 20 minutes in normal traffic, or a little longer from Southsea or the island via the ferry.

 

What rhinoplasty techniques are available near Portsmouth?

At Adnova, Mr Tim Biggs offers: Piezo (ultrasonic) rhinoplasty, dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, open and closed rhinoplasty, tip-plasty, functional septorhinoplasty, and complex revision rhinoplasty including donor rib reconstruction. He is the only surgeon in Hampshire offering this full range of techniques in a single practice.

 

Why choose an ENT surgeon rather than a plastic surgeon for my rhinoplasty?

An ENT rhinoplasty surgeon specialises exclusively in the nose and understands both its function and appearance. Mr Tim Biggs is a consultant ENT surgeon at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, with significant NHS surgical volume alongside his private practice. This means that breathing outcomes are never treated as secondary to cosmetic change. His RCS Board Certification in cosmetic nasal surgery confirms that he has been formally assessed in cosmetic technique as well as functional expertise. This dual qualification is rare outside London.

 

Do I need a GP referral to book a consultation at Adnova?

No. You can contact the Adnova Clinic directly by phone or email to book a consultation with Mr Biggs. No GP referral letter is required for self-pay rhinoplasty. Contact: Natasha Read (Secretary) on 01489 663273 or timbiggssec@adnovaclinic.com.

 

How much does rhinoplasty cost near Portsmouth?

All-inclusive rhinoplasty at the Adnova Clinic starts at £7,250 for tip-plasty and £10,500 for Piezo rhinoplasty, including all anaesthesia, hospital, and follow-up costs. There are no hidden fees. For a full price guide see the pricing page or contact the clinic directly.

 

Is nasal packing used after surgery?

No. Mr Biggs does not use nasal packing following rhinoplasty or septoplasty. Nasal packing is associated with significant post-operative discomfort and is not required with modern technique. Recovery is therefore considerably more comfortable than patients often expect based on other surgeons' practices.

 

What is the recovery time after rhinoplasty for Portsmouth patients?

Surgery takes place as a day case at the Adnova Clinic, meaning patients go home the same day. A splint is worn for approximately one week. Most patients are comfortable returning to desk work within 1–2 weeks. The majority of swelling resolves over 2–3 months, with final results visible by 12 months. Isle of Wight patients should plan for the ferry crossing on discharge day, we can time surgery to allow comfortable travel.
