The present invention discloses an inventive implant (1) for soft tissue implantation, especially, but not limited to, facial and breast tissue implantation. The tissue implant (1) comprises one or more filler elements (1) made out of a material which is inert to the body fluid associated with the implant(1). The material of the filler element (1) is preferably Vitallium or 19-9 stainless steel. The filler elements (1) are preferably configured as hollow spheres each having an outer diameter to suit the patient's need. For breast implantation, the outer diameter of the tiller element (1) is in the range of 1 to 6 inches, preferably one inch, and for facial implantation, the outer diameter of the tiller element (1) is less than or equal to 3 mm.
