disfigurations
Permanent physical damages
Disfigurations are alterations that spoil appearance or form.
The word applies to physical damage—scars, burns, injuries that leave lasting marks on bodies or objects—and extends to anything marred or deformed from its original state: The disfigurations left by the fire made the building unrecognizable.
Less common than the singular disfigurement.
