In this case the only solution is to apply cursor20 Clone brush to reconstruct missing details.

The clone brush lets you copy part of the image from "source" to "target" area.
After you have chosen the clone brush, you will see the mouse pointer as the green cross in the green circle. Simply click the image to select the source area. Once you've selected the source area, the mouse pointer changes to its usual circle form to select the target area and apply the brush.

Also you can erase you changes withcursorErase Erase brush or undo all or part of them.
