It is very unlikely to have caused any damage to your nose from your description.If you have any concern you should contact your surgeon.Good luck

Paul N. Afrooz, MD · Answer

It is extremely unlikely that chewing hard chips will have any effect on your result.  This can certainly cause a strange sensation due to the swelling of tissues in the nose being so close to the mouth and teeth.  If you are very concerned, be sure to discuss with your surgeon.
