In both the book and the movie, of course, he later has this corrected by surgery.
And not in Sicily, either. In Sicily, Michael stays with Dr. Taza, an incompetent who got his medical degree through the intervention of Don Tomassino. Taza offers to operate on Michael, but he wisely demurs, diplomatically telling Taza that his disfigurement is "something from home." He gets surgery only after he returns home and marries Kay.
