I prefer that it both be that 1) he lost control of the situation, and would have lost/died without Anakin's intervention - we know he gets cocky at times, and doesn't always evaluate threats to his person properly (which is why Vader gets the drop on him 20 years later). and 2) He was wearing a force mask of some sort, and the expenditure of energy to hold Windu at bay long enough to summon potential aid destroyed the "mask," rather than just having electricity make his face weird. There's no evidence that Force Lightning does anything of the sort to anyone else it's used upon - and obviously, Sidious has a larger mastery of (and thus bigger deformity from) the Dark Side, which explains why Dooku isn't deformed.That's my take.</blockquote>
