It wont get smaller.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
I assume that you have had a laparoscopy and there was a wound in the umbilicus. If so, swelling and kind of shrinking is a part of healing process. Scar tissue makes it narrow. For sure it wont close by itself.
As it is 3 months after the surgery, the scar should not make it more narrow and it should stay as is.
So do not put anything inside and just leave it alone.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
