Japanese Maple Pruning Debacle

I stupidly hacked a few lower branches off our Japanese maple this afternoon, reducing it from a low-branched, elegant thing to an ugly, bare, forked one.

This is what it looks like:

Is there anything I can do to fix it? Will some branches grow back, or have I doomed the tree? :(

It self-sowed several years ago and we previously never touched it. I wish I had just left it alone!
