Disclaimer: All I know about Avatar (which is very little), I've learned from the comments here and on ONTD, so maybe I'm completely off the mark.
I understand that thing on Dev Patel's face is a burn scar, though? If so, it looks pretty realistic to me. No matter how bad a burn scar is, you can't see every ridge and discolouring half a mile away in real life. As an Avatar-ignoramus, I have no problem looking at Dev Patel's face and thinking "badly burned at some point".
