Could biting hard on something very hard damage my nose after rhinoplasty?

Question

I had my rhinoplasty (it’s a revision rhinoplasty) about 6-7 months ago and yesterday when I was eating a salad I accidentally bit hard on an olive pit with my back teeth (molars). I felt pressure in my nose/mouth area, it felt like the same pressure felt like when doing exercise like pushups for example. Could this affect my nose somehow?

Hello! Thank you for your question. From the question you asked I can say that you can do push up and cross fit safely after the 2 months. If you do not get direct damage to your nose like punch, your nose will be fine. Best Regards!

Could biting something hard affect your rhinoplasty results? The nose is connected to the maxilla which is the bone in which your teeth insert. So pressure from the maxilla will be transmitted to the nasal bones. This may cause an uncomfortable feeling, but I can’t imagine any way that it would affect the results of your surgery, particularly 6 to 7 months out. straining and increasing the blood pressure in the head may also cause a funny feeling in the surgical site of your rhinoplasty, but here again it would not cause any harm to the result.

Hello,
The best way is that you should consult to your doctor who did this surgery. Your doctor's physicial examination will be more healthy.
Have a nice day:)
