The present invention features soft tissue implants comprising major (34) and minor struts (36) and methods for making same. The implants can include biocompatible film (30) that is rendered porous due to the inclusion of uniformly or non-uniformly patterned cells (32) , and the film has a thickness of less than about (0,015 inches) in the event the starting material is non-porous and less than about (0,035 inches) in the event the starting material is a microporous film. Multi-film implants can also be made.
