It really depends on your character concept. For a rough and tumble mercenary or grizzled pirate, it would be rather expected that they would be rough around the edges cosmetically, I agree. But this is also the kind of world where you can take a long sword to the liver, drink a potion, and walk it off. The ready availability of healing magics (white mages, potions, etc.) would make scarification less of an issue for a seasoned warrior with a reasonable support structure. That's before even considering the notion that at least a few money-focused conjurers would develop a trade in vanity magic (magically equivalent to modern cosmetic surgery, but likely cheaper).
