I took a CT scan after 3 types of contour surgery and the difference was before and after.

Since I'm a man, they left a corner on the bottom of my ear.
 It's been a little over a month since the surgery, so it's done well, right? There's still some swelling, but when I look at it on the Citi, the difference is definitely noticeable.
 There's my name and date of birth at the top of the Citi, so
 
I cropped it a little haha. Did you remove the pins after a year? I can't really feel the pin when I touch it or anything, but I'm curious.
 Is it necessary to remove the pin? I'm prone to swelling, so I'm worried that if I remove the pins, I'll swell again and have to go through a recovery period.
 And I like to eat, but should I still refrain from tearing off things like chicken feet or bone ribs?
 I'm constantly practicing opening my mouth, but I can't open my mouth and apply a lot of force because I'm a little scared haha.
