Capsular Contracture?
Without more information on what type of surgery you had, it is hard to know what is going on. However, assuming that you had breast augmentation in the past, you probably have some sort of capsular contracture around the firm breast. I would address this with your surgeon if indeed you have had previous breast augmentation.

Why Is One Breast Hard And The Other Breast Soft?
As you can see from the answers, the Real Self team of excellent plastic surgeons feels you have given insufficient information to understand exactly what your question is. Therefore, I am going to make certain assumptions in order to answer the question I believe you are asking. I am going to assume that you had a breast augmentation, and that after the breast augmentation, one breast has gotten much firmer than the other side, and as it has gotten firmer, it has also...

Hard and soft
Why is one breast hard and one soft? It could be related to the implant volume infused, or the difference between the two breasts, or a capsule, or a hematoma, to name a few. Can't say without more history and an exam.

Internal scarring

One breast hard and the other soft
Unfortunately you have a capsular contracture on the hard side. The cause could be bleeding in that side or to small a pocket formed. Seek in person advise.

Reason for a Soft breast on one side and a Hard Breast on the other
While you state that one breast is soft and the other is hard you do not state WHAT OPERATION you had done, nor WHEN was it done. Knowing these facts and especially seeing a photograph would have been very helpful.
Obviously, if both breast were healing the same way, they would have the same size, look and feel the same way. Something is wrong.
IF this was in the immediate post-surgery period, I would be concerned of bleeding on one side. This may be manifested by an increased...

Differences in Breasts
To answer this question, we really need to know what procedure you had, when you had it, etc. Assuming that you had breast augmentation, there may just be swelling, but there also may be a hematoma (blood collection) in the implant pocket. You should have your plastic surgeon take a look and see what needs to be done. Good luck.

Capsular contracture can make breast implants feel hard.
Hi.
If you just had breast augmentation, you might have a hematoma. That will make the breast hard and painful. See your plastic surgeon right away.
If this is a long term problem, it sounds like severe (very unusual) capsular contracture.

Breast asymmetry
Depending on how soon after surgery you are, check with your surgeon to make sure you do not have a hematoma or a capsular contracture.
