MathSource has the following package which should be precisely what you're
looking for.
0203-409: 3D Plots of Implicitly Defined Surfaces (July 1992)
Author: Steven Wilkinson
Plot3D[] plots a function of two variables. Many simple surface
(e.g., ellipsoids, hyperboloids, etc.) are not the graphs of
functions of two variables. ImplicitPlot3D[] allows the user to
plot surfaces implicitly defined by an equations of three
variables.
