It's a possibility. It's all about delivery. The writers weren't supposed to kill anyone on screen either and they found ways to do it more than once.

I've seen writers able to show a mutilated face in other cartoons, such as teen titans.

Avatar found ways to deliver some pretty grown up stories in a child-series. Zuko's story was about the worst of them all. His father willing to kill him for his rise to power, in addition to killing his own father, then burns his face and banishes him. Azula's descent into insanity wasn't fun to watch either.

They'll probably find a way to do it for suspense, probably in the dark or a partial reveal. But either way, a mask is just as scary.
