disfigure
Spoil someone's looks
To disfigure is to spoil the appearance of something, especially by damaging or marring its surface or form.
The word most often applies to faces and bodies: The accident left him badly disfigured.
It extends to landscapes, buildings, and other things whose visual integrity has been compromised: Graffiti disfigured the monument.
The damage implied is usually permanent or at least lasting.
