ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.

          On May 23, 1997,  the Board of Directors  of Inamed  Corporation  (the
"Company")  declared a dividend of one Common Stock  purchase  right (a "Right")
for each  outstanding  share of common stock,  par value $.001 per share, of the
Company  (the  "Common  Stock").  The  dividend is payable on June 13, 1997 (the
"Record Date") to the  shareholders  of record on that date. Each Right entitles
the registered  holder to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock of
the  Company  at a price of $80 per share  (the  "Purchase  Price"),  subject to
adjustment.  The  description  and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights
Agreement  (the  "Rights  Agreement"),  dated as of June 2,  1997,  between  the
Company  and U.S.  Stock  Transfer  Corporation,  as Rights  Agent (the  "Rights
Agent").

          Until  the  earlier  to  occur  of  (i) 10  days  following  a  public
announcement  that a person or group of  affiliated  or  associated  persons (an
"Acquiring  Person")  has  acquired  beneficial  ownership of 15% or more of the
outstanding  Common Stock or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as may be
determined by action of the Board of Directors  prior to such time as any person
or group of  affiliated  persons  becomes an  Acquiring  Person)  following  the
commencement  of, or  announcement  of an  intention  to make, a tender offer or
exchange  offer  the  consummation  of  which  would  result  in the  beneficial
ownership  by a person or group of 15% or more of the  outstanding  Common Stock
(the earlier of such dates being  called the  "Distribution  Date"),  the Rights
will  be  evidenced,  with  respect  to  any of the  Common  Stock  certificates
outstanding as of the Record Date, by such Common Stock  certificate with a copy
of the Summary of Rights attached thereto.

          The Rights Agreement  provides that,  until the Distribution  Date (or
earlier  redemption  or  expiration  of the  Rights)  (i)  the  Rights  will  be
transferred  with and  only  with  the  Common  Stock,  (ii)  new  Common  Stock
certificates  issued  after the Record  Date upon  transfer  or new  issuance of
Common  Stock will  contain a notation  incorporating  the Rights  Agreement  by
reference,  and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any  certificates for Common
Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, even without such notation or a copy of
the Summary of Rights being attached thereto,  will also constitute the transfer
of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificate.

          The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights
will  expire at the close of  business  on June 2, 2007 (the  "Final  Expiration
Date"),  unless the Final  Expiration  Date is extended or unless the Rights are
earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company, in each case, as described below.

          As soon as  practicable  following  the  Distribution  Date,  separate
certificates evidencing the Rights (the "Right

                                     Page 2
<PAGE>

Certificates") will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the
close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right  Certificates
alone will  evidence the Rights.  All shares of Common Stock issued prior to the
Distribution Date will be issued with the Rights.  Shares of Common Stock issued
after the  Distribution  Date will be issued  with the Rights if such shares are
issued  pursuant to the exercise of stock  options or under an employee  benefit
plan,  or upon  conversion  of  securities  issued after  adoption of the Rights
Agreement.  Except as otherwise  determined by the Board of Directors,  no other
shares of Common Stock issued  after the  Distribution  Date will be issued with
Rights.

          The Purchase Price  payable,  and the number of shares of Common Stock
or other  securities  or  property  issuable,  upon  exercise  of the Rights are
subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent  dilution (i) in the event of
a stock dividend on, or a subdivision,  combination or reclassification  of, the
Common  Stock,  (ii) upon the grant to holders  of the  Common  Stock of certain
rights or  warrants  to  subscribe  for or  purchase  shares of Common  Stock or
securities  convertible into Common Stock with a conversion price, less than the
then-current  market price of the Common Stock or (iii) upon the distribution to
holders of the Common Stock of evidences of  indebtedness  or assets  (excluding
regular periodic cash dividends paid out of earnings or retained earnings) or of
subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above).

          In the event  that any  person or group of  affiliated  or  associated
persons becomes an Acquiring Person,  each holder of a Right,  other than Rights
beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will
thereafter  have the right to receive,  upon  exercise,  Common  Stock  having a
market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.  However,  Rights are
not  exercisable  following  the  occurrence of the events set forth above until
they are no longer redeemable by the Company as set forth below.

          In the event that at any time  following the Stock  Acquisition  Date,
(i)  the  Company  is  acquired  in  a  merger  or  other  business  combination
transaction, or (ii) 50% or more of the Company's consolidated assets or earning
power are sold or  transferred,  each holder of a Right will thereafter have the
right to receive,  upon the exercise  thereof at the then current exercise price
of the Right,  that number of shares of Common  Stock of the  acquiring  company
which at the time of such  transaction will have a market value of two times the
exercise price of the Right.

          At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring  Person and
prior  to the  acquisition  by  such  person  or  group  of 50% or  more  of the
outstanding Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company may exchange the
Rights (other than Rights

                                     Page 3


<PAGE>

owned by such  person or group,  which will have  become  void),  in whole or in
part,  at an  exchange  ratio of one share of  Common  Stock (or of a share of a
class or series of the  Company's  preference  stock having  equivalent  rights,
preferences and privileges), per Right (subject to adjustment).

          With certain  exceptions,  no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be
required until  cumulative  adjustments  require an adjustment of at least 1% in
such Purchase Price. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued (and in
lieu  thereof,  an  adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of
the Common Stock on the last trading day prior to the date of exercise.

          At any time until 10 days  following  the  acquisition  by a person or
group of affiliated or associated persons of beneficial ownership of 15% or more
of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the Company (with the
concurrence of Continuing  Directors (as defined in the Rights  Agreement))  may
redeem the Rights in whole,  but not in part,  at a price of $.01 per Right (the
"Redemption  Price").  Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the Rights
will  terminate and the only right the holders of Rights will have is to receive
the Redemption Price.

          The terms of the Rights may be  amended by the Board of  Directors  of
the  Company  (with  the  concurrence  of  Continuing  Directors)  prior  to the
Distribution  Date.  After the  Distribution  Date, the provisions of the Rights
Agreement  may be amended by the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  (with the
concurrence  of  Continuing  Directors)  only to cure an  ambiguity,  defect  or
inconsistency,  to make changes which do not  adversely  affect the interests of
the holders of Rights  (excluding the interests of any Acquiring  Person,  or to
shorten  or  lengthen  any time  period  under the Rights  Agreement;  provided,
however,  that no amendment to adjust the time period governing redemption shall
be made at such time as the Rights are not redeemable.

          Until a Right is exercised,  the holder thereof, as such, will have no
rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right
to vote or to receive dividends.

          The Rights have certain  anti-takeover  effects. The Rights will cause
substantial  dilution to a person or group that  attempts to acquire the Company
on terms not approved by the Company's Board of Directors, except pursuant to an
offer  conditioned  on a  substantial  number  of  Rights  being  acquired.  The
existence  of the  Rights  may deter  certain  acquirors  from  making  takeover
proposals or tender  offers.  However,  the Rights are not intended to prevent a
takeover,  but  rather  are  designed  to  enhance  the  ability of the Board of
Directors  to negotiate  with an acquiror on behalf of all of the  shareholders.
The Rights should not interfere  with any merger or other  business  combination
approved by the Board of Directors since the Rights may be redeemed by the

                                     Page 4
<PAGE>

Company  at the  Redemption  Price  prior to the time that a person or group has
acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Common Stock.

          The Rights  Agreement,  dated as of June 2, 1997,  between the Company
and the Rights  Agent,  specifying  the terms of the Rights  which  includes  as
Exhibit A the Rights  Certificate,  and Amendment No. 1 to the Rights  Agreement
dated as of June 13,  1997,  are attached  hereto as exhibits  and  incorporated
herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Rights is qualified in its
entirety by reference to such exhibits.

         WHEREAS,  the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and declared
a  dividend  distribution  of one Right for every  share of Common  Stock of the
Company  outstanding  on June 13, 1997 and  authorized the issuance of one Right

                  thereof:

                  "Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no officer or director of the
