Sure; that's the best way to fix that "problem". But you want to make sure that your reading was correct:

• Make sure your wort is very well-mixed. Shake it up for a couple of minutes before collecting your sample
• Make sure your hydrometer is calibrated properly
• Make sure you temperature-correct your hydrometer reading
