oh gosh... i haven't a clue! it looks too complicated for either the clone stamp or the bandaid in PSE... at least, it would be for me... hopefully someone will have a suggestion for you!
You can clone stamp it, content aware fill or take another photo and merge it over the top. Of course you could hand draw in the other bits.
Clone stamp is your friend, embrace it and it will create magic. :)
Now if I had to fix this, I would clone stamp out most of the string then I would copy the right eye, flip it and use that for the area where the string hits the corner of the eye.
I don't know the limitations of PSE but I'd see if I have an image of him from a similar angle and layer/brush the missing portions in. Of course, you will have to resize/transform the head to be approx right size. Clone/heal to fix.
hahhaa like everyone's saying.. learn the ways of clone stamp and the world shall be your oyster! :) basically, set it at from between 50-80% opacity and try to clone away everything. then using a brush on 20% opacity, ink drop the colours of the skin and etc to reconstruct the eye and skin & hair.. i did my best! his forehead's abit patchy though :\ and not sure.. if his eye is accurate :d
Clone stamp is really the simplest. If you don't want to use that, use the paintbrush. It'll be a bit time-consuming, as you'll need to take colour samples from as close as possible to the affected area, and brush over it. Use a brush with faded edges rather than the solid kind so that the colour blends in with the other colours around it, rather than looking sharp.
It'll be a slow process where you'll have to keep taking colour samples as you work down the length of the yellow string, and you'll need to work at about 300-400% magnification and check back at 100% periodically to make sure it looks OK. You'll see if you blow the photo up to that size that a lot of what appears to be uniform colour isn't really, it's made of shades of the same colour, so it can be a bit fiddly getting the right colour sample. The eye is going to be the tricky bit, but it's all do-able. Hope this helps.

The rest should be easy to clone away.
didn't want to upload it to my 365 since it's not my photo heh
