We need to assume two things with this mirroring to get its original look.

To see what the structure once looked like, take the right (good) half of the monument and mirror it to the left side.

1. The half we use to do the mirroring is in its original condition
2. The "face" was originaly symmetrical
If any of those two things are not true then the resulting image has nothing to do with the original formation.
And I don't know if you are aware of the existence of very high resolution (29.9 cm/pixel) image of the "face" released in April. You can find it here.

I knew it!!! The mean, nasty lying U.S. government is covering something else up.
I knew the face was real. It's "Roswell" all over again. They let it slip out and then they deny it.
Is it misinformation? Disinformation? Information? Deformation?
Damn the govermnent !!! Nasa stinks too !!!
Unless it was really a face and it was modeled from someone who had an asymmetrical face.

2. If it was indeed a face, we can expect that they'll make the other side just a bit like the 1st, so it would LOOK like a face.
With a resolution of 29.9 cm/pixel good enough?

As Richard Hoagland had put it, at the resolutions NASA does release at (even as high as they currently seem), an object the size of a football stadium would appear the equivalent size of a single pixel...
Some other things to consider... Following the discovery of the face like image in the origional NASA shots, a NASA spokes person spoke of a second photo taken of the area at a different time of day & different angle, which showed no face like formation to actually be present. This was in fact a fabrication as the so-called alternate photo never actually existed...

That's the resolution of the latest (as far as I know) photo of the "face".
We can see rocks with less than 1 metre in these photos.
The previous image is the small rectangle in the image bellow.
Apparently, to some people, we can trust NASA when they show what those people want, in this case something that looks like a face and that can be used (with some imagination) as a possible evidence of the presence of intelligent life on Mars in an unknown past.

That's what I ment with pictures from NASA... You can't trust them.

Those people will ignore the photos that show that the "face" looks natural and say that those photos are "photoshopped" with the same vehemence that they hold to the first photo as a proof, neglecting the fact that the photos have the same origin.
People are really interesting creatures...
And NASA could not deny the leaked photo?

The Face on Mars was leaked before it was officialy published.
Do you look exactly the same every time you take a photo or yourself? Does a close up of your face look the same as a photo or your face taken from 10 metres?
Then how is it possible that NASA releases 3 different images, and as T stated above,
Yes, and the first too. How can anyone be sure that the leaked photo was not already "shopped"?
They allready shopped a 2nd version of the face, so it's probable that they shopped the last one!
See, something in which we agree.
And so are you Armap, very interesting!
I try...
Deny Ignorance huh? haha!!

In July, 1976, Viking Orbiter 1 was acquiring images of the Cydonia region of Mars as part of the search for potential landing sites for Viking Lander 2. On 25 July, 1976, it photographed a region of buttes and mesas along the escarpment that separates heavily cratered highlands to the south from low lying, relatively crater-free, lowland plains to the north. Among the hills was one that, to the Viking investigators scrutinizing the images for likely landing sites, resembled a face. Owing to the importance of the landing site search, and with a desire to provide the public with at least one familiar-looking landform amid the craters and exotic terrains found all over Mars, an image including the face-like hill was released as part of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's public relations effort. The text of that release notes the face-like hill.
