What is the manufacturer and model number of the speaker? That would be helpful. Some dome mids are soft silk material and could recover pretty well by doing things that have been suggested here. I know of dome mids that have internal formers behind the domes to help protect large domes. I have a set of older Philips dome mids like that. As another poster said, if the coil or former has been damaged by a severe blow to the dome if may be moot whether or not you can pull out the indentation.
I'll give you an example of what I mean in reference to soft dome materials. I have some Morel MDT-20 tweeters with soft fabric that I stored with some plastic covers that came with some North Creek tweeters, I didn't look closely enough to realize that the North Creek domes were inset more than the Morels and the covers actually pushed down the tops of these tweeters. When I realized this after several months of storage like that I just took those covers away and let the tweeters sit out in the open for a couple of weeks. Now you'd never expect that there was ever an indentation. And they are not damaged in any way. So these things can be resilient.
