Bigi442000, you're getting good at isolating the affected area and finding the right contrast to reveal the hidden features. I'd like to make a suggestion that will help you to the next level. Once you have finished revealing the area, go back and adjust the levels again so that they blend with the natural picture. Often times it won't be possible to get it exactly right (I mean, look at a lot of my images). But you can sometimes get really close, and make the image even more interesting.
There are a number of ways to do this. Half the battle is revealing the hidden stuff (which you've been able to do).
The remaining half is to put the two pieces back together in a natural (or more natural) way. Blending is your friend when you reach this point.
I'm offering this feedback to help constructively as you improve your techniques.
Try experimenting with the levels once you've revealed the hidden features. See if you can get the skin tones close to the rest of the body. Then, try blending the edges around the selected area. I think you might be surprised by what you are capable of doing once you practice with these techniques for a while.
