I tried this two ways and neither was satisfactory.

1.  As Argos suggested, I tried moving you to the right side of the image without flipping horizontally, which preserves the correct shadows. But the problem is that you are now facing away from everybody else and it doesn't look right.

2.  In your PNG image, I tried reversing the shadows on your face using two curves adjustments: One curve lightens the darker side, and the other curve darkens the lighter side. Then I tried combining the two curves using layer masks, but this looked pretty bad.

The good news is that the person in question is you. You can put on the same clothes and go to the same location and take another photo of yourself. Then photoshop that new photo into the original image.
