I can see my nose without a mirror and the top lip if I pucker up. Just bits; and out of focus.
I'm not being flippant or dismissive, I do think the question is great. Let's take it up another notch - and remove the face altogether.
I distinctly remember an interview with the actor Gary Busey who had a tumor removed from his sinus cavity. After the surgery, doctors were able to give him a video tape of the surgery...in which his face had been totally removed to access the tumor.
Think for a second about what it would be like to see such a thing and realize that it's just a mass of skin and flesh, like the mask of gore featured so prominently in Hannibal Lecter's escape from custody or Patton's "pile of goo that was your friend's face". (yes, I know we're not in 'Tilted Entertainment' but gore is very cinematic).
