You do, in fact, have rights over your 'likeness'. In most jurisdictions. [0]
In the US, that would fall under Prosser's Four Torts, "appropriation of name and likeness".
The law, currently, doesn't care if you think its a new image. Likeness is protected. Similarity is enough.
Please don't tell me you think you have rights over the image of another's naked body because it looks similar to yours.
Please don't tell me you think my own face is not my own likeness
I won't. I will tell you that any rights over commercial exploitation of a likeness is totally separate from this privacy issue.
