PLastic Bumper Repair?

I just noticed that someone gently bumped into the corner of the rear bumper on the passenger side of my DD Infiniti G35. I say gently because there are no scratches and no paint or plastic cracks. However the plastic is now out of shape leaving a slight dent in the back corner of the bumper. Very annoying.

Two Questions:

Can something like this be repaired/reshaped similar to paintless dent removal?

If yes, who does this work (in AZ)?

Thanks

Pictures would be needed to see exactly what we are dealing with here. Typically plastic bumpers can be repaired if they are slightly ripped but changing the shape is a little more difficult and would absolutely take a body shop, may or may not have to repaint.

I had a similar problem on the back bumper of my G35. I had it fixed by a PDR guy. They can fix it in a similar manner to PDR. Basically they heat up the bumper and try to reform it to match its original contour. My defect was more severe than yours, but you can still barely tell that my car was ever damaged.

Not all PDR guys do plastic work, so you will have to search for someone that specializes in bumper repair.
