One soft tissue support includes a unitary piece of processed porous tissue material having an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The anterior and posterior portions define a cavity therebetween. The cavity is sized to receive a breast implant therein. The cavity has at least one opening sized to receive the breast implant therethrough. One soft tissue implant includes the soft tissue support and a breast implant positioned within the cavity of the soft tissue support. The implant may further include a soft tissue graft configured to support the processed porous tissue material and the breast implant. A method of using a soft tissue support includes inserting a breast implant into the soft tissue support, and implanting the soft tissue support containing the breast implant in the cavity.
