Boyfriend jokingly bit my nose 9 months post-op - could this have damaged/reshaped cartilage?

I know it is an odd question but I had my second revision 9 months ago with rib cartilage. Yesterday my bf bit my nose jokingly and it hurt a tiny bit. I am extremely worried that it’s done damage to the cartilage. Is it possible to do any damage/reshape the cartilage that way? There was no bleeding and the pain didn’t last.
