i have had my 2011 macbook pro for about a year now and the battery has bloated. the palm rest alot the bottom alot and the screen corner abit , i know it happened because i leave my macbook on top of my xbox slim . so once i get a new battery will i be able to bring the casing back to its original shape?

Depending on how much it has warped, you will need to probably bend it back into the correct shape. Aluminum is not easily workable, so it will likely never look correct if it isn't just pushed out slightly instead of being actually warped.

The best way to bend it back without too much impact would be a wood-lined vice or press of some sort.
