Default can a creased rear bumper be fixed?

Like the title says...

A woman in a minivan rolled into me at a stoplight about two hours ago. It's not bad, but the rear bumper is creased (you can basically see the corner of her license plate and the screw that holds it on... it's sort of embossed on the bumper). I would take pictures, but my girlfriend has the camera...

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but I thought I'd ask

Anything can be fixed, the question is how much money it will cost. Get us some pics up and I'll let you know.

You can bend some things back since its urethane...my rear bumper got bent pretty bad but its not nearly as noticable after pushing it back out and straightening it. Depends how bad the damage was.
