Is it too late to use a belly button shaper at 11 months post-op? (Photo)

I am 11 months out since I had my tummy tuck and my belly button still looks like a coin slot. Is it too late to use a shaper? I asked my surgeon shortly after the tummy tuck if there was a need for a belly plug and he said none of his patients ever had to worry about a belly plug and that I would be fine. I just wanted to know if it was too late to try and shape it now being that it’s almost a whole year out. Don’t want to waste the money if there’s really no chance of it stretching. Thank you so much for any help!!
