sure -- adjust by adding a two-sided jump distribution -- say double exponential

There is a closed-form characteristic function (assuming the jumps are independent of the Brownian motions of course).

The Heston characteristic function is available in many papers, just google it.For the double exponential jumps, you can look at the original paper by Steve Kou.Best,
