Hi Miguel,
Normally these days when I have to do these reflections I use Matlab.
For an older paper (Fruciano et al. 2011 - It J Zool) I think I used
LMedit from the IMP package (it's been a while now).
However, if your data is only on half of the face, I would perform the
analysis only on half the face and then use reflection across a
symmetry axis only to display the results...
Best,
Carmelo
