Besides, some scars don't necessarily become very noticable, and those might have healed and never scarred at all. Well to be honest we never should have taken it as 100% canon. It's conceptual art, basically ideas for the 3D modellers and animators to use as a reference. We only used it as a source of canon because a) it had more detail than the characters in the original game (now the reverse is true) and b) we all really like Shinkawa's art. The art has always been specific to the game it is made for. The idea of Miller missing an arm did not exist back when the artwork was made and as such, really should not be used as evidence. We all know that Liquid was impersonating Miller but even then, we only saw "Miller's" face. Same with MG2. The first time we ever see Miller's actual body in-game is Peace Walker.
