I just answered the "output" part of the question for somebody else, so I just put the link to that answer down.
How you get your face into the computer is either you model it (lot of work) or you have access to a 3D laser scanner. That is fairly easy, can however still be time consuming if you want to put a number of scans together. If there is a university where you live, check out their engineering or art department if they have one. If not forget about it, unless you happen to be really rich, it's going to be more expensive than a new car.
Before you start see that you know you have access to some way to print it or get it milled. Make sure you know the requirement for the mesh and make sure you have access to the appropriate programs which generate the correct mesh.
Unless you have access to everything (e.g. you are at university and it has the equipment) it will be faster and easier and cheaper if you do body casting and make a mold of your face. How to do this has been explained in this forum many times, there are websites and books, so you should have no problems finding it out if you are serious about it.

Here is a brilliant software program called "Poser Artist" for (Win/Mac).
From cave dwellers to DaVinci, artists have struggled to create accurate depictions of the human form… until now. Harness the power of 3D-characters with Poser. Easily bring life to any project using the human form and virtual actors. Poser is the extraordinary creative art tool that lets you design with the human form.
From traditional art to digital illustration, from comic books to storyboards, from figure design to character animation, Poser takes the science out of drawing figures.

Poser 6 delivers the power of interactive 3D figure design, offering infinite opportunities to portray human diversity, form and expression. Design with the human form for art, illustration, animation, comics, web, print, education, medical visualization, games, storyboarding, and more!
