September 26, 1996 and Amendment No. 2 filed on
January 28, 1997 (the "Schedule 13D"), relates to
the common stock of Inamed Corporation (the
"Company").  Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.  The
Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:


 Item 2.Identity and Background

     The Manager is the general partner of Ferd
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Ferd").  The
limited partner of Ferd is Chestnut Investors III,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Chestnut").  Chestnut
is beneficially owned by Delphi.  The address of
the principal business and principal office of Ferd
is 51 John F. Kennedy Parkway, Short Hills, New
Jersey 07078.  The address of the principal
business and principal office of Chestnut is 1105

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings
          or Relationships with Respect to
          Securities of the Issuer

     On March 27, 1997, the Partnership (for itself
and on behalf of, and as agent for, Palomino and
Ferd) agreed to purchase from (i) Mr. Scott Bommer
and certain of his affiliates (collectively,
"Bommer") and (ii) Dreyfus, in the aggregate,
$11,697,142.86 principal amount of 11% Secured

"Notes") issued under that certain indenture, dated
as of January 22, 1996 (as amended from time to
time, the "Indenture"), between the Company and
Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, as trustee.  The
purchase of the Notes is conditioned upon the
effectiveness of certain amendments to the
