It shouldn't make the bony defect worse as such. If you build up your pecs however the depression may appear more prominent relative to the increase in muscle mass.
if the muscle tissue becomes more prominent it can make it more apparent not more worse
It may make it more prominent, but overall development of chest muscles should cover it. For keeping fit he should go ahead and see.
Good luck to your friend.
