Can't really tell just with one photo -- but it may not be as bad as you think.  Try applying some antibiotic ointment and allow things to heal over.  It may turn out OK.  Give it a few weeks.

You are very early in the healing process -- don't jump to conclusions.  Be patient and allow things to heal.

I agree with Dr. Jacobs.  Give it time to heal completely, and it may look just fine.
