Is It Ok to Chew Regularly 4 Days Post Rhinoplasty Procedure?

SurgicalEnhancement
So, my doctor shaved down my hump and narrowed the tip along with my nostrils. It has been 4 days after I had surgery. Whenever I chew food or open my jaw considerably I feel a strong pressure on my nostrils like my stitches will pop out or something. Will these actions end up changing my result in the end or is this nothing to be concerned about?
