Piezo Rhinoplasty with Mr Tim Biggs, Rhinoplasty Surgeon

In this video, Mr Tim Biggs, Consultant ENT Surgeon, Rhinologist, and Facial Plastic Surgeon at Adnova Clinic, Fareham, discusses piezoelectric rhinoplasty and why it has become central to his surgical practice. Piezo technology uses ultrasonic energy to cut and reshape bone with a level of precision that conventional osteotomes cannot match. Because the device acts selectively on hard tissue, the surrounding soft tissue, blood vessels, and mucosa are preserved rather than disrupted. The result for patients is significantly less bruising and swelling, a more comfortable recovery, and a faster return to normal life.Mr Biggs also explains how Piezo technology enables him to perform dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, a modern technique that remodels the nasal bridge without removing it. Combining Piezo with dorsal preservation allows him to achieve natural, refined results with greater consistency and a smoother healing trajectory. Mr Biggs is one of the only surgeons in Hampshire performing both techniques.

For many women, a softer dorsal curve and a slightly more rotated tip may be preferred. Every surgical plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals following detailed consultation. #rhinoplasty #adnovaclinic #facialsurgery #plasticsurgeryuk #patientfirst"

Adnova Clinic on Instagram: "Liquid rhinoplasty vs surgery — what patients should know Many patients ask about non-surgical (filler) rhinoplasty. While it can have a role in very select cases, it’s important to understand its limitations and risks. Key considerations: • Fillers typically add volume, meaning the nose often appears larger • Results are temporary and require repeat treatments • Prior filler can make future surgical rhinoplasty more complex • There are medical risks, including infection and contour irregularities • In rare cases, serious complications can occur For patients with structural concerns or breathing issues, surgery is often the more appropriate long-term solution. In experienced hands, filler rhinoplasty may be suitable for small, specific imperfections, but it isn’t the right option for everyone. A thorough consultation is essential to decide what’s safest and most effective for each individual. — Mr Tim Biggs Consultant Rhinologist 📍 Adnova Clinic (Educational content only.

Adnova Clinic on Instagram: "Breathing difficulties are not always visible from the outside. Many patients present with ongoing nasal obstruction despite having a nose that appears externally straight or “normal.” In these situations, the underlying cause is often functional rather than cosmetic. There are several common reasons why nasal airflow may be affected, including: • A deviated nasal septum causing internal narrowing or obstruction • Enlarged turbinates, often associated with allergies or hay fever • Inflammatory conditions such as nasal polyps or chronic sinus disease • Dynamic or structural nasal valve collapse, where weakened cartilage affects airflow during breathing One particularly overlooked issue is internal nasal valve or upper lateral cartilage collapse. This may not always be obvious during a routine examination, which is why a detailed functional nasal assessment can be important in patients with persistent symptoms. Functional septorhinoplasty is a procedure designed to improve nasal airflow and breathing mechanics whilst preserving — and in some cases refining — the external structure of the nose when appropriate. As always, symptoms, anatomy, and treatment suitability vary between individuals, which is why careful assessment and personalised advice remain essential. #AdnovaClinic #PatientEducation #FunctionalRhinoplasty #NasalBreathing #ENTEducation [blocked nose causes, breathing problems through nose, functional rhinoplasty explained, deviated septum symptoms, nasal valve collapse]"
