Dent repair question

I come to my car today after school to find someone left my a nice dent in the back of my car. My question is, is it possible to repair this without replacing the rear bumper (since it's plastic)?




It's right above the indented part where the exhaust tips are, on the right side.

Possible to fix. Urethane repair done by a competent body shop.

I've heard that plastic bumper covers have memory. If heated and worked, some dings can be removed.

Yes, a heat gun and some working from behind the damage will straighted the cover out but will still need to be repaired by a bodyshop with the proper urethane repair products and resprayed to be perfect.
