Hi there, I've found that plaster can be fixed just like a hole in drywall. Create a "patch" to completely cover the hole (I like fiberglass sheet rock tape for this) and then cover it with plaster/joint compound, allow to dry and keep adding until you completely cover it. From there it would be some experimenting to create the exact texture of your plaster.

I have also used thin drywall to stabilize a hole, and then plastered over it, and the patch is still good 30 years later.
