Compare ClothingConcealedInjury, where the intention is always to hide that any injury even exists -- wearing a conspicuous mask, as this trope often involves, makes it much more obvious that a person has a reason to be doing that. Inconspicuous examples of this trope tend to involve LatexPerfection -- that is, not clothing. However, a case where a character has a plausible reason to hide their face -- such as a knight's helm -- but is later revealed to be doing this to hide injuries to the face, would be both. Compare also HidingTheHandicap and HideYourOtherness, both of which also tend to involve far more inconspicuous means than [[RuleOfDrama a dramatic, flashy mask]], but can still overlap in some cases, as above. Compare also PleaseKeepYourHatOn, which is this trope but for headgear.

* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': After being [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured for months]], Griffith's horribly destroyed face is hidden behind a beaked, birdlike mask. This is both a kind of DarkReprise of his [[AnimalMotifs association with hawks]] and a ShoutOut to the ''Film/PhantomOfTheParadise''. We're never shown what his face looks like in the manga or anime itself, only characters' horrified reactions to it; [[NothingIsScarier the damage is left up to the readers' imagination]]. Once [[FallenHero Griffith becomes Femto]], this mask ''[[BecomingTheCostume becomes his face]]''; a very neat [[RuleOfSymbolism symbolic]] representation of [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil his complete inability to move on from his trauma]]. What's left of his actual face ''is'' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Berserk/comments/2gdpby/posttorture_griffith_under_his_mask_a_descent/ shown in an official artbook.]]. It's... not pretty. [[spoiler:The entire upper half has been ''[[FlayingAlive ripped off]]''. This is a real injury called ''facial degloving''; do not look up photos of this [[NightmareFuel if you want to sleep tonight]].]]
