Bit hard to tell from the pic, is the wood just compressed or is there a chunk missing? If it's compressed heat/steam will work very well. Rather than trying to describe the process, I would point you to You Tube :)

In my experience this only works for soft woods. Dense woods are harder to compress and therefore harder to decompress

Thats going to take some epoxy and fine maple wood dust to get back to looking like original. A good luthier should be able to make it invisible/near invisible. If it's a lacquered neck, you're have to have the poly reblown in.
