description seems pretty accurate. when you think about it, though, it does make some sense that she would still bear those scars. for any of you who have seen the movie Avatar, if you remember back to the military man with the long scars going down the side of his head, he said that he could have had them removed if he wanted to, but he decided to keep them because they always reminded him of the dangers out in the wild world of Pandora. with Triss, it could be that their after the same thing (i.e. her keeping the scars as a permanent reminder of her past). also, lest you people forget, she is allergic to magic and it could be that she can't use certain spells lest she risks injuring herself severely. with so many possible variables, the developers probably had a good reason to give her that description and appearance.
