No.

Imagine if you had a paper plate and cut a pie piece out of it. (So it would look like a pacman). Then, in your head, imagine trying to touch the two cut edges together. (like closing the pacman's mouth.) When you try to do that, the paper plate will not stay flat. Instead, the middle of the plate will pop upward, making a cone shape.

The face (of the cone) you are thinking of, actually would be a circle with some 'pie' pieces missing. If it were missing only one small pie piece, the cone would be pretty flat. If the original circle/paper plate were missing MOST of its 'pie' pieces the cone would be very tall.

PS The fancy name for the 'pie' piece shape is 'sector.'
