Rhinoplasty, Septorhinoplasty and Sinus Surgery for Basingstoke Patients | Mr Tim Biggs

Mr Biggs sees Basingstoke patients across two areas of expertise, and two nearby locations. Sinus disease, nasal obstruction and general nasal breathing problems are seen at Medicana Clinic, Winchester, or the Wessex Nuffield, both about 20 miles away, around 25 to 30 minutes by car. Rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty, including dorsal preservation and Piezo ultrasonic technique, are seen at Adnova Clinic, Fareham, about 40 miles away, around 45 to 50 minutes by car.

- Two areas of expertise -

Sinus and nasal breathing problems

Chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, nasal obstruction and turbinate hypertrophy are treated at Medicana Clinic, Winchester, and at the Wessex Nuffield, covering FESS, septoplasty, turbinoplasty, ClariFix cryotherapy and posterior nasal neurectomy. Mr Biggs also runs a joint ENT-Respiratory biologics clinic for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in his NHS practice, so is very aware of these patients and their indepth requirements and treatments.
 

Rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty

Cosmetic and functional nasal reshaping, including dorsal preservation and Piezo ultrasonic rhinoplasty, are carried out at Adnova Clinic, Fareham. Mr Biggs is currently the only surgeon in Hampshire combining these two techniques, and is one of a small number of surgeons in the UK holding RCS Board Certification specifically in cosmetic nasal surgery.

Why sinus patients choose this practice specifically

Beyond routine FESS and septoplasty, this practice offers posterior nasal neurectomy for chronic nasal congestion and rhinitis where other treatments haven't worked, ClariFix cryotherapy as a lower-intensity intermediate option, and access to biologic therapies for the more difficult chronic rhinosinusitis cases that don't respond fully to surgery. This range means a sinus problem doesn't need to be referred elsewhere as it becomes more complex, it's managed within the same practice.

 

Why rhinoplasty patients travel to Adnova Clinic

Dorsal preservation keeps the bridge's natural tissues rather than removing and rebuilding it, and Piezo ultrasonic instrumentation reshapes bone with less trauma than a traditional rasp or osteotome, together built to avoid the flattened, over-resected look of a typical rhinoplasty. Around 30% of the rhinoplasty practice is revision surgery correcting results performed elsewhere, with a revision rate under 5% on primary cases. Pricing is published and all-inclusive, with free follow-up.
