bump on front bumper

Hi
I was wondering with the front bumper being plastic is there a way of removing a bump on the bumper. I have a bumper on bumper. I'm going to have the guy that painted my car check it out but I'm just wondering what can be done without removing bumper. Can I sand it down and fill it with something
thanks

Yes, w/o pics, hard to say. Some indentations can be pushed out from behind if they're not creased. Have you tried that?

Yes pic would help, was it recently painted? Could be a part of the crash protection under the cover that needs adjustment or it could be a paint bubble or bad repair/paint that has released.
