I am now 4 months post op and my surgeon wants me to change and use soft dilator moving forward. I have been using #3 and #4 of soulsource dilators since after my surgery. Do we really have to change from hard dilators to soft dilators eventually? I just thought using hard once is better to use for lifetime.

Always follow your surgeon's advice.

But yes, I've ever heard (until now) of using hard dilators, and Brassard is clear that a soft dilator will NOT work - it's fine eventually to use in addition to the regular set, but not instead of. It sounds like your surgeon has a different technique and therefore different regimen.

No, my doctor's technique is similar to what Sanguan Kunaporn is doing in Thailand. Its peno-scrotal SRS method wherein they used most of its skin to create a flap with skin grafting. My doctor is a bit noob for post operative care like I bought soulsource dilators instead of using the one he is providing due to its only one and size is like #4 of soulsource (yikes).

Im concern that if he lets me switch to soft dilators I might lose depth and width.

well,  follow the dr's  advise. i  never  heard  of  the  soft  kind.  they  seem  more  like sex  toys,  battery  operated  boy  friends.     at  some  point,  if  you  are  sexualy  active,  most  retire  the  damn dialiator  things.    a few  years  in,  with  regular sexual  activity,  they  are  typicaly  not  needed  anymore.  discuss  that  with  your  dr,  as  dr.  always  knows  best.
