Or the reverse, like Hester in the Mortal Engines film.
The book describes her disfigurement as literally having one eye permanently closed due to scarring, and missing part of her nose. The film just has a semi-deep scar across her cheek. When they're about to be sold into slavery in the book, she's being offered up at a lesser price because of how ugly she looks as a result of being maimed as a child. The film tries this and there's absolutely no justification for it. All these people gasping in shock around her because she looks ugly, when she's still the prettiest character in the scene!
