Item 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         As of the date hereof, Mr. Feinberg is deemed to

beneficially own 75,200 Shares of INAMED's Common Stock and Notes

convertible into 700,000 shares.  The Common Stock and the Notes

are held by the Partnerships and managed accounts over which

Mr. Feinberg has investment discretion.   In the last sixty days,

75,200 shares of Common Stock were purchased in open market

transactions at an aggregate cost of $668,700 and Notes

convertible into 700,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased at

a cost of $7,000,000.00.  The funds for the purchase of the

Common Stock and the Notes held in the Partnerships, over which

Mr. Feinberg has investment discretion, came from capital

contributions to the Partnerships by their general and limited

partners.  The funds for the purchase of Common Stock and the

Notes convertible into Common Stock held in the managed accounts,

over which Mr. Feinberg has investment discretion, came from each

managed account's own funds.  No leverage was used to purchase

the Common Stock or Notes.

Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The Common Stock and Notes beneficially owned by Mr.

Feinberg were acquired for, and are being held for, investment

purposes.  Mr. Feinberg may acquire additional shares of Common

Stock, dispose of all or some of those shares from time to time,

in each case in open market transactions, block sales or

purchases or otherwise, or may continue to hold those shares.

actions to influence the management of INAMED should he deem such

actions appropriate.

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         As of the date hereof, Mr. Feinberg is deemed to be the

beneficial owner of 75,200 Shares of INAMED Common Stock and

Notes convertible into 700,000 additional shares.  Assuming the

conversion of the Notes, Mr. Feinberg would own 775,200 shares of

INAMED Common Stock constituting 9.25% of the outstanding shares

of INAMED Common Stock based upon 8,377,617 shares which would be

outstanding upon conversion of the Notes.  The figure is based on

the information received from INAMED stating that, as of January

26, 1996, there are 7,677,617 shares of INAMED Common Stock

outstanding.  Mr. Feinberg has the power to vote, direct the

vote, dispose of or direct the disposition of all the shares of

own.
