So I think a little cloning will take care of this - I was going to copy the eyebrow and eye we can see and flip + skew it to get the perspective right, but it's so small and there's so little detail, I just cloned from what we can see. The eyes are just slits, so taking a bit from the center didn't need to be flipped or skewed. I made the eyebrow with the burn tool, set for midtones and about 8% opacity and drew on top of the cloned skin.
This is at 200% so it's easier to see

Two other things. The woman's hair has lost all its shadow, as has her forehead - the hair is creating dappled shadows on her forehead and perhaps that looked like damage, but I don't think it is. I "restored" that by going back to the original.
The baby's left forearm (the part behind the woman) got cloned away, leaving a phantom hand sort of floating out of the bushes :) I cloned from the forearm we can see to make the right sort of shape.
Many thanks Jo Ann! Thank goodness for layers and layer masks. Put the dark areas right back on the Mom ::)
Final?
