Do as TOXE says to select the plane that you want to duplicate by [the 'mirror']. Then Ctrl + click on a vertex which lies exactly on where you want your seam (so, for example, the middle of the nose). This will send the Drawing Plane to that point. Select All and then Duplicate with Symmetry. Viola! (Before duplicating you can select the vertices that lie on your seam - using the marquee - and then choose Selection>Move to Drawing Plane if you need to make sure they are all lying 'flat'.) Choose View> Reset Working Box to continue working on your model.
