Pretty sure you cant. Unless you take the piece off and pop it out with body hammers or something. Unless it was perfect enough for one of those automotive hot glue dent poppers.
You really can't do anything. If it's small, there isn't anything you can use to pop it back out.
I just place a sticker on top of it. Takes away some of the eyesore, but knowing that there's a dent won't go away
just get a protective case from Speck, should cover it up and make it less noticeable or be too much of a concern.
not mtuch you can do than just replacing that part and really its not worth it (easier said im sure)

You can always make another dent to make it look symmetrical.
Time machine?
LoL
i don't have a dent myself, but anybody tried these dent doctors, because i thought they do doors and cars. I mean has anybody had an experience with them fixing a laptop?
hahahah half you guys are worthless but funny
yeah i saw some stupid dent remover that you can do on your own at come for like 15$ called like dent popper, how much would it cost to try and get some dent ppl to try and pop it out? it would take them like 2 seconds if it would work....

Are you talking about dent'ists?
no seriously they are called dent doctors, then fix dents in doors and cars. Hey OP i am not sure about the price, but i don't see a harm of trying them (Only if they look like they do know what they are doing)
Their basically hot glue and a suction cup on a bolt that reverse screws up and pops the dent. If its a weak enough dent it will work. Its for sheet metal so it will prob work on the thin aluminum. heat guns pop out hail damage on cars. Id be too scared to do it on mine though.
If there is no crease in the metal, you can set your macbook in the sun to heat it up a little bit.... play some games on it. Once it's warm to the touch. Rub a small piece of dry ice down in the dent. It may scream and make some strange noises. But the shrinking metal will cause the dent to go away. You may have to try this more than once to get the results you are looking for. I know that this works on sheet metal. Aluminum being more malleable may not spring back the way you want. But it may be worth a try.
The sticker option is a viable alternative.
