How to remove highlights on face from Sun

[vis_01]

I am looking for some assistance and recommendation to fix the highlights on the check/forehead and elbow area with this image.  I have done the normal raw editing and was able to improve some.  I also used the brush in LR and it worked OK but not overall satisfaction.  I have researched and tried a few different scenarios from youtube and kelby training without much success.  I am looking for some recommendations on how to enhance these areas that should have been shot correctly.  Any ideas tips or tricks is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the URL.  I have tried a few of these techniques and I was able to get acceptable results.  I appreciate it.

Choose the Patch tool and set its Options Bar to Normal, Source

Use it to encircle the burned out area and drag up to the forehead

This was one of the approaches I used and then removed the forehead lines and made it look real.  Thanks for the post!

I like Norma's approach, but here's another.

Hit the 'Q' key to enter Quickmask,  and paint over the problem area with black (it will show as red)  [See note below]

Overlap the area a wee bit.  Something like this

Hit  the Q  key again to come out of quick mask

And use Edit > Fill > Content Aware Fill

That has left me a  problem area  at the bottom of the fix

Which I  fixed with the Healing Brush, and some hand painted tone with a  low  opacity brush

Note: The default  for Quick Mask is Color Indicates Masked Areas.

I prefer  to use Selected Areas
