Except maybe for the red eyeball?

From the looks of it, this would be a job better suited for Photoshop than After Effects, unless you intend to animate the face somehow. It shouldn’t be to terribly difficult using some masking.
I imagine you could just use the magic wand selection tool to select the black area, and then create an inverted mask that turns it into transparency. Then place another metal image similar in color and texture to the other metal face parts in a layer below the hole layer. Then, either mask or delete any extra metal area that would hang out from under the hole layer’s outer edges. That would get you part of the way there. And then you can do some color correction and clone stamp/healing brush work to make the hole layer better mesh with the skin tone and texture.
After you finish that, then you could import the final product into after effects and do anything else you had in mind.

Depending on the shot, if the face moves much, if it turns or not, there are several ways of approaching this.
If the face is not turning (or turning just a bit), you can paint the patch in PSD (create a patch with edges and terminator head under) and then use Mocha to track and comp that patch on the face. A bit of distortion may be necessary using Mesh Warp.
For a 3d move, where the face turns, you need a 3d track and a 3d patch. First stabilize the head, to have it always in the same spot in the frame (track 1). Then isolate (crop) the head and do a 3d camera track (Track 2) and a camera solve. Use FreeForm Pro to create the 3d patch and position in 3D space and render that on the head. Then comp back the head in the shot reversing the Track 1 stabilization.Tudor “Ted” Jelescu

Not sure what version of AE you’re on, but I believe the new version comes with a face tracker, so that might be of some help.
