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

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?
