For some reason, we hae a lot of synonyms for la tête (head) or le visage (face), including:
  • (la) bille
  • (la) binette
  • (la) bobine
  • (la) bouille
  • (la) caboche
  • (la) figure
  • (la) frimousse
  • (la) gueule
  • (la) tronche
  • (la) trogne
  • (la) trombine
  • and probably others I can't remember right now.

E.g. se casser la figure
or se casser la binette
or se casser la margoulette (I've never heard anyone say this, but give it a shot)
or se casser la gueule (slang) = to fall
