This was a gift for my girl friend and somehow it fell over and the face was damaged. If possible we would like to purchase a new head so that we can give this beautiful doll to a family member as a birthday gift. Also, I am looking for instructions for repairing the doll. Please let me know if this is possible and the cost of a new head.
Thanking you in advance.

Your pictures show extensive damage and if you have never did repairs I do not believe you could do this repair even with an experienced person helping you.
Sending her to a repair 'hospital' will probably be very expensive as collectors usually only send valuable antique dolls for this service. Some people have great sentimental value with a doll and may be willing to pay this high cost but, due to the type of doll you have, I would say you could purchase a new same doll or very similar doll for a lot less money than a professional repair.
You do not give the brand of doll or her size so providing help will be limited. You may receive better answers if you post the brand and any other information available (size, pictures of any markings on her back or neck (under hair) and pictures of the information on her box).
If you provide this information someone may be able to help you find a replacement doll or maybe just the head.
You may be able to send pictures and questions to this site and they can tell approximate cost of repairs.

You would have to know who manufactured the doll and contact them. I dont think this is an expensive doll, so it may not be worth it
Contact a porcelain doll repair in your area. This is not something that you would attempt to do yourself. If not in your area you may need to send her out for repairs. Also on the box you can contact the maker , and they should be happy to assist you on these repairs.
