Hello,
I do not think there is any value if you wait longer. Presence of umbilical hernia likely to worsen over the time rather than regressing without any intervention. In my opinion, you need to talk to your doctor about planning for surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
