Will a dented muscle fill back out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dented? muscle: If u mean by 'dented' that something pressed against it, the muscle should resume its normal shape after a short while following removal of pressure. If u mean that an injury took a chunk out of the muscle, the body will attempt to fill the defect but it may take a long time unless a doc/surgeon can decrease the size of the defect.
