     This Prospectus relates to shares of the Common Stock, par value $.01 per 
share (the "Common Stock") of Inamed Corporation, a Florida corporation (the 
"Company" or "Inamed"), (i) issued to the holders of record on June 10, 1996 
of the Company's 11% Secured Convertible Notes due 1997 (the "Secured Notes"), 
(ii) shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon conversion of $6.2 
million in principal amount of the Company's 4% Convertible Debentures due 
2000 (the "Debentures") and (iii) shares of Common Stock issuable from time to 
time upon exercise of warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock (the 
"Warrants") issued in connection with the issuance of the Debentures, and the 
offering and sale of such shares by the holders thereof (each a "Selling 
Stockholder") from time to time thereafter (all such shares being hereinafter 
referred to collectively as the "Shares"). See "Shares Being Offered" and 
"Selling Stockholders." Certain of the Shares were issued to the holders of 
the Secured Notes in connection with the amendment of the Indenture governing 
the Secured Notes and the waiver by the holders of certain covenant defaults 
under the Indenture governing the Secured Notes and the balance are issuable 
upon conversion or exercise of privately placed securities.
    
     Shares of the Common Stock are traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under

  EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
   AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
  ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY
                             IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Each of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby may be offered for sale and
sold by the Selling Stockholders from time to time in varying amounts, including

of sale.  The Shares may be sold by the Selling Stockholders directly, through
an underwritten offering, through agents designated from time to time or to or
through broker-dealers designated from time to time.  To the extent required,
the number and series of Shares to be sold, the name of the Selling
Stockholders, the purchase price, the public offering price, if applicable, the
name of any such agent or broker-dealer, and any applicable commissions,
discounts or other items constituting compensation to such underwriters, agents
or broker-dealers with respect to a particular offering will be set forth in a
supplement or supplements to this Prospectus (each, a "Prospectus Supplement").

Stockholders to underwriters, agents or broker-dealers and (ii) certain other
expenses of the offering and sale of the Shares that will be the responsibility
of the Selling Stockholders.  See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of

Shares.  The Company knows of no selling arrangement between any underwriter,
agent or broker-dealer and the Selling Stockholders.

deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and any discount or commission received by them
and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.  THE 
FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF RISK FACTORS IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY, AND 
SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH, THE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AND 
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPEARING IN THE REPORTS OF THE COMPANY 
FILED WITH THE COMMISSION UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT, INCLUDING THE ANNUAL REPORT 
OF THE COMPANY ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 FILED WITH 
THE COMMISSION, THE QUARTERLY REPORTS ON FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED 
MARCH 31, JUNE 30 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND THE CURRENT REPORTS ON FORM 8-K 
FILED WITH THE COMMISSION ON FEBRUARY 6, 1996, APRIL 19, 1996 AND MAY 31, 1996.

Litigation
   
     Inamed and/or its subsidiaries are defendants in numerous state court
actions and a federal class action in the United States District Court, Northern
District of Alabama, Southern Division, under the Chief Judge Sam C. Pointer,
Jr., U.S. District Court, regarding Master File No. C892-P-10000-S (Silicone Gel
Breast Implants Product Liability Litigation MDL 926).  The claims are for
general and punitive damages substantially exceeding provisions made in the
Company's consolidated financial statements.  The Company's consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will withstand
the financial results of such litigation.
    
     Several U.S. based manufacturers negotiated a settlement with the
Plaintiffs' Negotiating Committee ("PNC"), and on March 29, 1994 filed a
Proposed Non-Mandatory Class Action Settlement in the Silicone Breast
Implant Products Liability (the "Settlement Agreement") providing for 
settlement of the claims as to the class (the

                                     3
<PAGE>

"Settlement") as described in the Settlement Agreement.  The Settlement 
Agreement provides for resolution of any existing or future claims, including 
claims for injuries not yet known, under any federal or state law, from any 
claimant who received a silicone breast implant prior to June 1, 1993.  A 
fairness hearing for the non-mandatory class was held before Judge Pointer on 
August 18, 1994.  On September 1, 1994, Judge Pointer gave final approval to 
the non-mandatory class action settlement.

     The Company was not originally a party to the Settlement Agreement.
However, on April 8, 1994, the Company and the PNC reached an agreement that
would join the Company into the Settlement.  The agreement reached between the
Company and the PNC added value to the Settlement by enabling all plaintiffs and
U.S. based manufacturers to participate in the Settlement, and facilitating the
negotiation of individual contributions by the Company, Minnesota Mining and
Manufacturing Company ("3M") and Union Carbide Corporation ("UCC") which total
more than $440 million.

     Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the parties stipulate and
agree that all claims of the Settlement Class against the Company regarding
breast implants and breast implant materials shall be fully and finally settled
and resolved on the terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement.
   
     Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay $1 
million to the Settlement fund for each of 25 years starting three years after 
Settlement approval by the Court.  The Settlement was approved by the court in 
1994. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $9.1 million in the fourth 
quarter of 1993.  The charge represent the present value (discounted at  8%) 
of the Company's settlement of $25 million over a payment period of 25 years.

     Under the Settlement, $1.2 billion had been provided for "current claims" 
(disease compensation claims).  In May 1995, Judge Pointer completed a 
preliminary review of current claims against all Settlement defendants which 
had been filed as of September 1994, in compliance with deadlines set by the 
court.  Judge Pointer determined that, based on the preliminary review, it 
appeared that projected amounts of eligible current claims exceeded the $1.2 
billion provided in the Settlement. Discrete information as to each defendant 
was not made available by the court and the Company is not aware of any 
information from such findings that would affect the Company's $9.1 million 
accrual.  The Settlement provided that in the event of such over-subscription, 
the amounts to be paid to eligible current claimants would be reduced and 
claimants would have a right to "opt-out" of the Settlement at that time.

     On October 1, 1995, Judge Pointer finalized details of a scaled-back breast
implant injury settlement involving defendants Bristol-Myers Squibb, Baxter
International and 3M, allowing plaintiffs to reject this settlement and file
their own lawsuits if they believe payments are too low.  On November 14, 1995,
McGhan Medical Corporation and UCC were added to this list of settling
defendants to achieve the Bristol, Baxter, 3M, McGhan and UCC Revised Settlement
Program (the "Revised Settlement Program"). With respect to the parties 
thereto, the Revised Settlement Program incorporated and superseded the 
Settlement. The Revised Settlement Program did not fix liability on any 
defendants, but established maximum contribution amounts and therefore will 
not directly impact the Company's $9.1 million charge.
    
   
     The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $23.4 million in the third 
quarter of 1995. The charge represented the present value (discounted at 8%) 
of the maximum additional amount that the Company would be required to 
contribute to the Revised Settlement Program, $50 million over a 15-year 
period based on a claims-made and processed basis. Due to the uncertainty of 
the ultimate resolution and acceptance of the Revised Settlement Program by 
the registrants, claimants, and plaintiffs and combined with the current lack 
of information related to the substance of the claims, the Company reversed 
this charge for the third quarter of 1995.

     At December 31, 1996, the Company's reasonable estimate of its liability 
to fund the Revised Settlement Program was a range between $9.1 million, the 
original estimate as noted above, and the discounted present value of the $50 
million aggregate the Company would potentially contribute under the Revised 
Settlement Program, with no amount within the range a better estimate. Because 
of the uncertainty of the ultimate resolution and acceptance of the Revised 
Settlement Program by the registrants, claimants, and plaintiffs (which 
acceptance and participation is necessary for any contributions under the 
Revised Settlement Program) and the current lack of and changing information 
related to the substance of the claims, no estimate of the possible additional 
loss or range of loss can be made and, consequently, the financial statements 
do not reflect any additional provision for the litigation settlement.

     The Company has entered into a Settlement Agreement with health care 
providers pursuant to which the Company was required to pay, on or before 
December 17, 1996, $1 million into the MDL Settlement Fund ("the Fund") to 
be administered by Edgar C. Gentle, III, Esq. ("the Fund Agent"). The 
Company, in the spirit of the Revised Settlement Program, contributed 
$600,000 to the claims administration management for the settlement.
    

     The Company has opposed the plaintiffs' claims in these complaints and
other similar actions, and continues to deny any wrongdoing or liability to the
plaintiffs of any kind.  However, the extensive burdens and expensive litigation
the Company would continue to incur related to these matters prompted the
Company to work toward and enter into the Settlement which insures a more
satisfactory method of resolving claims of women who have received the Company's
breast implants.
   
     Management's commitment to the Settlement does not alter the Company's 
need for complete resolution sought under a mandatory ("non-opt-out") 
settlement class (the "Mandatory Class") or other acceptable settlement 
resolution. Therefore, the Company has petitioned the United States 
District Court, Northern District of Alabama, Southern Division, for 
certification of a Mandatory Class under the provisions of Federal Rules of 
Civil Procedure. On July 11, 1996, the Company filed an appearance of counsel 
and status report on the INAMED Mandatory Class application to the United 
States District Court, Northern District of Alabama, Southern Division, Chief 
Honorable Judge Samuel C. Pointer, Jr. There can be no assurance that the 
Company will receive Mandatory Class certification or another acceptable 
settlement resolution.
    
     If the Mandatory Class is not certified, then the Company will continue 
to be a party to the Revised Settlement Program.  However, under the Revised 
Settlement Program, the Company will continue to be subject to further 
potential litigation from persons who opt out of the Revised Settlement 
Program.  The number of such

persons who opt out and the outcome of any ensuing litigation are uncertain.  
The failure of the Mandatory Class to be certified is expected to have a 
material adverse effect on the Company.

Need for Additional Financing
   
     The Company's existing cash on hand (whether or not the Notes are 
converted into shares of common stock) will not be sufficient to fund the 
Company's full litigation settlement payment or to fund the Company's capital 
expenditures, working capital and operational needs.  Based on the Company's 
estimates of the potential settlement terms, the Company estimates that it 
will need at least an additional $40 million (assuming the Secured Notes and 
Debentures are converted) over the next 15 years to fund the full settlement 
commitment, either from operations or financing activities, or both. There can 
be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues 
or obtain any such additional financing or, if it is able to obtain such 
financing, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.  Such 
needs are in addition to funds needed for planned operations and needed 
capital expenditures. Such needs will be further increased if some or all of 
the Secured Notes not already converted or Debentures are not converted into 
shares of common stock. The Company will receive no funds if the Secured Notes 
and Debentures are converted, but in such event the Company will be relieved 
of the obligation to repay such securities.
    
Limits on Additional Indebtedness 
   
     The Indenture governing the Secured Notes imposes certain operating and 
financial restrictions on the Company affecting, among other things, the 
ability of the Company to incur certain indebtedness and create liens except 
for Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture).  Unless waived or 
amended by the holders of the Secured Notes as permitted in the Indenture, 
these restrictions will continue so long as any Secured Notes are 
outstanding.  In addition, the guaranty and pledge agreements entered into by 
certain of the Company's subsidiaries in connection with the issuance of the 
Secured Notes also impose additional limitations on the ability of the 
subsidiaries to incur certain indebtedness and to create liens.  The 
covenants are subject to various exceptions that are generally designed to 
allow the Company to continue to operate its business without under restraint 
and, therefore, are only limited prohibitions with respect to certain 
activities.  However, these restrictions, in combination with the leveraged 
nature of the Company, could limit the ability of the Company to effect 
future financing, respond to changing market conditions and otherwise may 
restrict corporate activities.

Holding Company Structure

     The Shares represent an interest exclusively in the Company, which is a 
holding company.  Since the operations of the Company are currently conducted 
entirely through subsidiaries, the cash flow of the Company and its ability 
to pay dividends on the Common Stock are dependent upon the cash flows of 
such subsidiaries and the distributions of these subsidiaries are separate 
and distinct legal entities.  In addition, the payment of dividends and 
certain loans and advances to the Company by such subsidiaries may be subject 
to certain statutory or contractual restrictions, are contingent upon the 
earnings of such subsidiaries and are subject to various business 
considerations.  Any right of the Company to receive assets of any 
subsidiary, upon the liquidation or reorganization of any such subsidiary 
(and the consequent right of the holders of the Shares to participate in 
those assets), will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that 
subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that the Company is itself 
recognized as a creditor of such subsidiary, in which case the claims of the 
Company would still be subordinate to any security in the assets of such 
subsidiary that is senior to any security granted in favor of the Company and 
any indebtedness of such subsidiary senior to that held by the Company.

Dependence Upon Key Personnel and Consultants

     The Company's ability to successfully develop its products, manage 
growth and maintain a competitive position will depend in a large part on its 
ability to attract and retain highly qualified scientific and management 
personnel, and to develop and maintain relationships with leading research 
institutions and consultants.  The Company is highly dependent upon its 
Chairman and its Chief Executive Officer, the principal members of its 
management, key employees, scientific staff and consultants which the Company 
may retain from time to time. There can be no assurance that the Company will 
be able to continue to attract and retain such personnel.  This is 
particularly the case so long as the current product liability litigation 
remains unresolved.  The Company's consultants may be affiliated with or 
employed by others and some have consulting or other advisory arrangements 
with other entities that may conflict or compete with their obligations to 
the Company.  The Company addresses such
    
                                  5
<PAGE>

potential conflicts by requiring that its consultants, scientific 
collaborators and sponsored researchers execute confidentiality agreements 
upon commencement of relationships with the Company, by closely monitoring 
the work of such persons and by requiring material transfer and patent 
assignment agreements whenever possible and appropriate.  Inventions or 
processes discovered by such persons will not necessarily become the property 
of the Company and may remain the property of such persons or others.

Control by Management

     The Company's Board of Directors currently consists of its two senior
Executive Officers.  The Company has been unable to retain independent directors
due to the existing litigation.  Therefore, management does not have the
oversight of independent members of the Board of Directors.

Competition and Technological Uncertainty

     The medical device industry is characterized by extensive world-wide 
research and development efforts and rapid technological change.  Success in 
the medical device field is dependent upon product quality, reliability, 
design features, service, price, and the relationship between the Company and 
the physicians and group purchasing organizations utilizing the products.  
The Company believes that its product lines are competitive with other 
product lines in the market.  However, competition from other domestic and 
foreign medical device companies and research and academic institutions in 
the areas of product development, product and technology acquisition, 
manufacturing and marketing is intense and is expected to increase.  The 
Company's products compete with those of a number of other domestic and 
foreign manufacturers, many of whom have substantially greater revenues and 
resources than the Company's.  These or other competitors may succeed in 
obtaining approval from the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") or other 
regulatory agencies for their products more rapidly than the Company.  
Competitors have also developed or are in the process of developing 
technologies that are, or in the future may be, the basis for competitive 
products.  With the rapid progress of medical technology the Company's 
products are always subject to the risk of obsolescence through the 
introduction of new products or techniques.

Research and Development

     The medical device and product industry is characterized by rapid 
technological change, which requires a continuous high level of expenditures 
for enhancing existing products and developing new products.  The Company is 
committed to high expenditures for research and product development.  The 
Company also believes that a crucial factor in the success of a new product 
is getting it through regulatory approvals and to market quickly to respond 
to new user needs or advances in medical technologies, without compromising 
product quality.  The Company is continually engaged in product development 
and improvement programs.  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993, 
1994 and 1995, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $3.07 million, 
$3.72 million and $4.39 million, respectively, on research and development 
activities.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in 
enhancing existing products or developing new products that will timely 
achieve regulatory approval or receive market acceptance.  See "Government 
Regulation" below.  The Company has not engaged in material customer or 
government sponsored research.

Government Regulation

     The production and marketing of the Company's products and its ongoing 
research and development, preclinical testing and clinical trial activities 
are subject to extensive regulation and review by numerous governmental 
authorities in the United States, including the FDA, and in other countries.  
Most medical devices developed by the Company must undergo rigorous 
preclinical and clinical testing and an extensive regulatory approval process 
administered by the FDA under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended 
(the "FDC Act"), and comparable foreign authorities before they can be 
marketed.  The FDA regulations govern the testing, marketing and registration 
of new medical devices, in addition to regulating manufacturing practices, 
labeling and record keeping procedures.  The process of obtaining clearance 
from the FDA to market products either through pre-market approvals or 
pre-market notifications is costly and time consuming and can delay the 
marketing and sale of the Company's products.  Additionally, there is no 
assurance that such approval will be granted.  The FDA is

                                      6

<PAGE>

empowered to perform unannounced inspections of the Company's facilities and 
operations and to restrain violations of the FDC Act.  The Company has 
limited experience in, and limited resources available to commit to, 
regulatory activities.  Failure to comply with the applicable regulatory 
requirements can, among other things, result in non-approval, suspensions of 
regulatory approvals, fines, product seizures and recalls, operating 
restrictions, injunctions and criminal prosecution.

     Medical device laws, ranging from device approval requirements to 
requests for product data and price controls, are in effect in many countries 
in which the Company does business outside the United States.  In addition, 
government reimbursement policies for health care costs are becoming 
increasingly significant factors for medical device companies.  Currently, 
the U.S. Congress is considering various health care reforms that are 
designed to reduce the cost of existing government and private insurance 
programs.  It is uncertain at this time what impact, if any, the health care 
reform efforts will have on the Company.  Any changes that limit or reduce 
reimbursement for the Company's products could have a material adverse effect 
on the financial condition results of operation and cash flows of the Company.

     The time required for completing such testing and obtaining such 
approvals is uncertain and approval itself may not be obtained.  In addition, 
delays or rejections may be encountered due to, among other reasons, 
regulatory review of each submitted new device application or product license 
application, as well as changes in regulatory policy during the period of 
product development.  Similar delays may also be encountered in foreign 
countries.  If regulatory approval of a product is granted, such approval may 
entail limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be 
marketed.  Further, even if such regulatory approval is obtained, a marketed 
product, its manufacturer and the facilities in which the product is 
manufactured are subject to continual review and periodic inspections.  Later 
discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, manufacturer or 
facility may result in restrictions on such product or manufacturer, 
including withdrawal of the product from the market and litigation.

International Operations

     In addition to the Company's U.S. manufacturing operations, the Company 
manufactures products at its facilities overseas.  The Company maintains 
sales and marketing offices in many European and other countries.  Operations 
in countries outside the U.S. are subject to certain financial and other 
risks, including currency restrictions, currency exchange fluctuations and 
changes in foreign laws.  Several countries in which the Company does 
business have enacted laws and regulations that are protectionist in nature 
and have resulted in increased costs and operational efforts by the Company 
in order to continue to effectively compete in those countries.  The Company 
does not presently believe that such laws and regulations will have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of 
operation or cash flows, although there can be no assurance that they will 
not in the future.

Liability and Recall Exposure 
   
     The use of the Company's products have in the past and may in the future 
expose the Company to liability claims.  See "Litigation" above. These claims 
could be made directly by patients or consumers or by companies, institutions 
or others using or selling such products.  In addition, the Company is 
subject to the inherent risk that a government authority or third party may 
require the recall of one or more of the Company's products.  The Company has 
not obtained liability insurance that would cover a claim relating to the use 
or recall of its products.  In the absence of such insurance, claims made 
against the Company or a product recall could have a material adverse effect 
on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and 
prospects.  In addition, there can be no assurance that, if the Company seeks 
insurance coverage in the future, such coverage will be available at 
reasonable cost and in amounts sufficient, if at all, to protect the Company 
against claims that could have a material adverse effect on the financial 
condition and prospects of the Company.  Further, liability claims relating 
to the use of the Company's products or a product recall could negatively 
affect the Company's ability to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals for 
its products.

Possible Adverse Effects of Future Legislation or Regulations

     Heightened public awareness and concerns regarding the growth in overall 
health care expenditures in the United States, combined with the continuing 
efforts of governmental authorities to contain or reduce costs of health 
care, may result in the enactment of national health care reform or other 
legislation or regulations that impose limits on the number and type of 
medical procedures which may be performed or which have the effect of 
restricting a physician's ability to select specific products for use in 
certain procedures.  Such new legislation or regulations may materially 
adversely affect the demand for the Company's products.  In the United 
States, there have been, and the Company expects that there will continue to 
be, a number of federal and state legislative proposals and regulations to 
implement greater governmental control on the health care industry.  For 
example, the Clinton Administration and certain members of Congress have 
proposed health care reform legislation that may impose pricing or 
profitability limitations or other restrictions on companies in the health 
care industry.  The announcement of such proposals may materially adversely 
affect the Company's ability to raise capital or to form collaborations, and 
the enactment of any such reforms could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company.  In certain foreign markets, the pricing and profitability of health 
care products are subject to governmental influence or control.  In addition, 
legislation or regulations that impose restrictions on the price that may be 
charged for health care products or medical devices may adversely affect the 
Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  From 
time to time, legislation or regulatory proposals are proposed and discussed 
which could alter the review and approval process relating to pharmaceutical 
or medical device products.  The Company is unable to predict the likelihood 
of adverse effects which might arise from future legislative or 
administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.

Reimbursement

     The Company's ability to sell its products successfully may depend in 
part on the extent to which reimbursement for such products and related 
treatment will be available from government health administration 
authorities, private health insurers, managed care entities and other 
organizations.  Such payors are increasingly challenging the price of medical 
products and services and establishing protocols and formulae which 
effectively limit physicians' ability to select products and procedures.  
Uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of health care products 
(especially innovative technologies), and there can be no assurance that 
adequate reimbursement coverage will be available to enable the Company to 
achieve market acceptance of its products or to maintain price levels 
sufficient for realization of an appropriate return on its products.
   
Manufacturing Capacity and Material Supply
    
     To be successful, the Company's products must be manufactured in 
commercial quantities under current Good Manufacturing Practices ("GMP") 
prescribed by the FDA and at acceptable costs.  The Company will need to 
expand its manufacturing capabilities.  In the event the Company determines 
to expand its manufacturing capabilities, it will require the expenditure of 
substantial funds, the hiring and retention of significant additional 
personnel and compliance with extensive regulations applicable to such 
expansion.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to expand 
such capabilities successfully.  If the Company is not able to expand its 
manufacturing capabilities, it could materially and adversely affect the 
Company's financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

   
The Company obtains certain raw materials and components for a number of its 
products from single suppliers, including Nusil Corporation and Specialty 
Silicone Fabricators who presently are the exclusive suppliers to the Company 
of raw silicone and certain components, respectively. The Company believes that 
its sources of supply could be replaced if necessary without undue disruption, 
but it is possible that the process of qualifying new materials and/or vendors 
for certain raw materials and components could cause a material interruption 
in manufacturing or sales. No mateiral interruptions occurred during the 
Company's last fiscal year as result of such supply relationships.
    
Uncertainty Regarding Patents and Proprietary Technology

     The Company's success will depend, in part, on its and its licensors' 
ability to obtain, assert and defend its patents, protect trade secrets and 
operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.  The Company has 
filed applications for or has been issued U.S. and foreign patents, and has 
exclusive or non-exclusive licenses under patent applications or patents of 
others.  The patent position of medical device firms generally is highly 
uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions.  There can be no 
assurance that the patent applications owned by or licensed to the Company 
will result in issued patents, that any issued patents will provide the 
Company with proprietary protection or competitive advantages, will not

                                     8

<PAGE>

be infringed upon or designed around by others, will not be challenged by 
others and held to be invalid or unenforceable or that the patents of others 
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company, its financial 
condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

     The Company is aware that its competitors and other companies, institutions
and individuals have been issued patents relating to its products.  In addition,
the Company's competitors and other companies, institutions and individuals may
have filed patent applications or been issued patents relating to other
potentially competitive products of which the Company is not aware.  Further,
the Company's competitors and other companies, institutions and individuals may,
in the future, file applications for, or be granted or license or otherwise
obtain proprietary rights to, patents relating to other potentially competitive
products.  There can be no assurance that these existing or future patents or
patent applications will not conflict with the Company's or its licensors'
patents or patent applications.  Such conflicts could result in a rejection of
the Company's or its licensors' patent applications or the invalidation of their
patents, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's competitive
position, its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and 
prospects.  In the event of such conflicts, or in the event the Company believes
that such competitive products may infringe the patents owned by or licensed to
the Company, the Company may pursue patent infringement litigation or
interference proceedings against, or may be required to defend against
litigation involving, holders of such conflicting patents or competing products.
Such proceedings may materially adversely affect the Company's competitive
position, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
any such proceeding.  Litigation and other proceedings relating to patent
matters, whether initiated by the Company or a third party, can be expensive and
time consuming, regardless of whether the outcome is favorable to the Company,
and can result in the diversion of substantial financial, managerial and other
resources from the Company's other activities.  An adverse outcome could subject
the Company to significant liabilities to third parties or require the Company
to cease production and sale of other products.  In addition, if patents that
contain dominating or conflicting claims have been or are subsequently issued to
others and such claims are ultimately determined to be valid, the Company may be
required to obtain licenses under patents or other proprietary rights of others.
No assurance can be given that any licenses required under any such patents or
proprietary rights would be made available on terms acceptable to the Company,
if at all.  If the Company does not obtain such licensees, it could encounter
delays or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products
requiring such licenses is foreclosed.

     The Company also seeks to protect its proprietary technology and processes
in part by confidentiality agreements with its collaborative partners, employees
and consultants.  There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be
breached, that the Company will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that
the Company's trade secrets will not otherwise become known or be independently
discovered by competitors.

Environmental Matters

     The Company is subject to federal, state, county and local laws and 
regulations relating to the protection of the environment.  In the course of 
its business, the Company is involved in the handling, storage and disposal 
of materials that are classified as hazardous.  The Company's safety 
procedures for handling, storage and disposal of such materials are designed 
to comply with the standards prescribed by applicable laws and regulations.  
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be involved in 
an accidental contamination or injury from these materials.  In the event of 
such an accident or injury, the Company could be held liable for any damages 
that result, and any such liability could materially adversely affect the 
Company, its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and 
prospects.  Further, there can be no assurance that the cost of complying 
with these laws and regulations will not increase materially in the future.

Control by Officers and Directors
   
     As of March 14, 1997, the Company's officers and directors 
beneficially owned approximately 21% of the outstanding Common Stock. 
Depending upon the size of the Board of Directors, these shareholders may be 
able to elect one or more of the Company's directors and will have the 
ability to influence the Company and the
    
                                   9
<PAGE>

direction of its business and affairs.  Although it will be reduced by the 
conversion of Notes into shares of common stock and the increase of 
additional shares of common stock, such as the Shares, such concentration 
ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control 
of the Company, which could adversely affect the market price for the Common 
Stock.

Potential Volatility of Stock Price; No Dividends

     The market prices for securities of medical device companies have
historically been highly volatile.  Future announcements concerning the Company
or its competitors or industry, including, but not limited to, the results of
testing, technological innovations or new commercial products, the achievement
of or failure to achieve certain milestones, governmental regulations, rules and
orders, developments concerning patents or other proprietary rights, litigation
or public concern about the safety of the Company's products, may have a
material adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock.  In addition,
the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations.  This
volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many
pharmaceutical and medical device companies for reasons frequently unrelated or
disproportionate to the performance of the specific companies.  These broad
market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of the
Common Stock.  The Company has never paid dividends, cash or otherwise, on its
capital stock and does not anticipate paying any such dividends in the
foreseeable future.  The Company's agreement with the holders of the Notes
prohibits the payment of dividends on its Common Stock.

Shares of Common Stock Eligible for Sale 
   
     As of March 14, 1997, the Company had an aggregate of 8,209,350 issued 
and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  In addition, as of March 14, 1997, 
the Company had reserved for issuance an aggregate of approximately 11,506,038
shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to:  (i) outstanding vested and 
non-vested options, warrants, convertible securities, such as the Secured 
Notes and the Debentures, and similar rights; and (ii) contingent obligations 
to issue additional shares.  Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of 
Incorporation, the Company currently has 20,000,000 authorized shares of 
Common Stock.  Subject to certain limitations, the persons holding such 
options and warrants may obtain the shares of Common Stock underlying such 
options and warrants at any time.  The issuance of a large number of shares 
of Common Stock would dilute the percentage interest of other existing 
stockholders of the Company and the holders of Shares. 
    

     Certain stockholders, including certain officers, directors, employees 
and affiliates of the Company also currently hold issued and outstanding 
shares of Common Stock and/or certain of the options or warrants to purchase 
additional shares of Common Stock.  See "Security Ownership of Certain 
Beneficial Owners and Management of the Company" in the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K. Sales of substantial amounts of such shares could 
adversely affect the market value of the Common Stock.

                              SHARES BEING OFFERED
   
     In January 1996, the Company issued $35 million in principal amount of 
11% Secured Convertible Notes due 1999 (the "Secured Notes").  On January 17 
and 29, 1997, the Company issued $4.2 and $2.0 million, respectively, in 
principal amount of 4% Convertible Debentures due 2000 (the "Debentures") and 
warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants" and, 
together with the Secured Notes and the Debentures, the "Securities"). The 
Securities were originally issued in transactions exempt from registration 
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). On or 
about June 10, 1996 the Company sought the consent waiver by the holders of 
the Secured Notes to certain amendments to the Indenture governing the Secured 
Notes and the waiver by such holders of certain covenant defaults under the 
Indenture relating to the Company's financial performance for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1996. In connection with the Indenture amendment and waiver, 
the Company agreed to issue to each holder of record of Secured Notes on June 
10, 1996 additional shares of Common Stock (the "Bonus Shares") equal to five 
percent (5%) of the shares such holders would receive if such holder had 
converted such holder's Secured Notes on such date. The Company agreed to 
issue and issued such shares to the holders entitled thereto on January 10, 
1997 in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

     The Debentures are unsecured obligations of Inamed, the principal amount 
of which is payable as follows, $4.2 million on January 16, 2000 and $2.0 
million on January 28, 2000. The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 4% 
per annum until maturity. The Debentures will become convertible 60 days 
after their original issuance at the option of the holder into shares of 
Common Stock. The Debentures will be convertible thereafter until maturity at 
the option of the holder.

     Subject to certain conditions (including the registration of the Common 
Stock issuable on conversion), the Debentures will also be automatically 
convertible at the option of the Company after one year from the date of 
issuance. The Debentures are presently convertible at any time after the 
stated occurrences at a conversion price (based on the stated principal 
amount of the Debentures converted) equal to a the lesser of (A) the greater 
of (1) the average per share market value for the five trading days 
immediately preceding the original issue date (the "Issue Date Trading 
Value") and (2) an amount determined by dividing (x) the average per share 
trading market value for the five trading days immediately preceding the date 
of conversion (the "Conversion Date Trading Value") by (y) a fraction, the 
numerator of which is the sum of (i) 1.33 and (ii) the Conversion Date 
Trading Value divided by the Issue Date Trading Value and the denominator of 
which is 2. As of the date of this Prospectus, Debentures in the aggregate 
principal amount of $6.2 million are outstanding, which Debentures are 
convertible at the current conversion rate into an aggregate of 988,835 
shares of Common Stock.

     In connection with the issuance of the Debentures the Company entered 
into registration rights agreements with the purchasers of the Debentures and 
the Warrants to use its best efforts to register the shares of Common Stock 
underlying such securities. Specifically, the Company agreed to file with the 
Commission within 14 days of the date of issuance of the Debentures, and use 
its best efforts to cause to become effective, a registration statement on 
Form S-3 with respect to the shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable 
upon the conversion of the Debentures. In the event a registration statement 
relating to the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures has not been 
declared effective on or before the 60th day following the date of issuance of 
the Debentures, then for each of the first two months following such date in 
which the registration statement has not been declared effective, the 
conversion price will be reduced by three percent. The Company also agreed to 
include in such registration statement the shares of Common Stock issuable 
upon exercise of the Warrants. In connection with the solicitation of the 
waivers and amendments to the Indenture governing the Secured Notes, the 
Company also undertook to use its best efforts to register the Bonus Shares 
following their issuance.

     The Shares offered hereby include the number of Shares issuable upon 
conversion of $6.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Debentures, as 
such number and type of shares may be increased or decreased as a result of 
adjustments to the conversion rate pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions 
of the Debentures. At the current conversion rate, 988,835 shares of Common 
Stock are issuable upon conversion of $6.2 million aggregate principal amount 
of the Debentures.

     The foregoing shares underlying the Securities constitute the Shares 
that are subject to this Prospectus.

     Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has had any material
relationship with any Selling Stockholder within the past three years.  
The Company has agreed to bear all costs and expenses of registering the
Shares under the Securities Act, including registration fees, its legal and
accounting fees and expenses and photocopying costs.  The Selling Stockholders
will bear all other expenses of the offering and sale of the Shares, including
any underwriting discounts, selling commissions or other compensation to agents,
broker-dealers or underwriters, transfer fees or taxes, if any, and fees and
expenses of counsel and other advisers, if any, to the Selling Stockholders.


                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
   
     The Shares offered hereby are being offered by the Selling Stockholders. 
The Company will receive no proceeds from the sale of any of the Shares by the 
Selling Stockholders.  The sale of the Shares may be effected by the Selling 
Stockholders from time to time in transactions on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, 
in secondary or other distributions in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq 
SmallCap Market, in negotiated transactions, or a combination of such methods 
of sale, at fixed prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at 
the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at 
negotiated prices.  The Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by 
selling the Shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may 
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from 
the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of the Shares for whom such 
broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both 
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of 
customary commissions).  To the extent required, the number of Shares to be 
sold, the purchase price, the public offering price, if applicable, the name 
of any underwriter, agent or broker-dealer, and any applicable commissions, 
discounts or other items constituting compensation to such underwriters, 
agents or broker-dealers with respect to a particular offering will be set 
forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement and a post-effective amendment 
to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The 
aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Shares 
sold by the Selling Stockholders hereby will be the purchase price of such 
Shares less a broker's commission.
    
     There is no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all of
the Shares offered hereby.

     In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
applicable, the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in certain states the
Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in
the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.

     If any Shares are sold in an underwritten offering, such Shares may be
acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time
to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a
fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the
obligations of any underwriters to purchase Shares will be subject to certain
conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of
the Shares specified in such Prospectus Supplement if any are purchased.

     Shares may be sold through a broker-dealer acting as agent or broker for
the Selling Stockholders, or to a broker-dealer acting as principal.  In the
latter case, the broker-dealer may then resell such Shares to the public at
varying prices to be determined by such broker-dealer at the time of resale.

     The Company has been advised by the Selling Stockholders that they have
not, as of the date of this Prospectus, entered into any arrangement with an
underwriter, agent or broker-dealer for the sale of the Shares.

     The Florida Business Corporation Act and the Bylaws of the Company provide
for indemnification of the Company's officers and directors.  Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Subsection (1) of Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act
(the "FBCA") empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a
party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against liability
incurred in connection with such proceeding (including any appeal thereof) if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful.  The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent does not, of
itself, create a  presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     Subsection (2) of Section 607.0850 of the FBCA empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right
of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
such person acted in any of the capacities set forth in the preceding paragraph,
against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment
of the board of directors, the estimated expenses of litigating the proceeding
to conclusion, actually and  reasonably incurred in connection with the defense
or settlement of such proceeding including appeals, provided that the person
acted under the standards set forth in the preceding paragraph.  However, no
indemnification should be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person is adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court
in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent
jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court
deems proper.

     Subsection (3) of Section 607.0850 of the FBCA provides that to the extent
a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding referred to in
subsections (1) or (2) of Section 607.0850 or in the defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

                                    II-1
<PAGE>

     Subsection (4) of Section 607.0850 of the FBCA provides that any
indemnification under subsections (1) or (2) of Section 607.0850, unless
determined by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in
the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (1) or (2) of Section
607.0850.  Such determination shall be made:

          (a)  by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum
     consisting of directors who were not parties to such proceeding;

          (b)  if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, by
     majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors (in
     which directors who are parties may participate) consisting solely of two
     or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding;

          (c)  by independent legal counsel:

               (1)  selected by the board of directors as prescribed in
     paragraph (a) or a committee selected as prescribed in paragraph (b); or

               (2)  if no quorum of directors can be obtained under paragraph
     (a) or no committee can be designated under paragraph (b), by a majority
     vote of the full board of directors (in which directors who are parties may
     participate); or

          (d)  by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum of
     shareholders who were not parties to such proceedings or if no quorum is
     obtainable, by a majority vote of shareholders who were not parties to such
     proceeding.

     Under subsection (6) of Section 607.0850 of the FBCA, expenses incurred by
a director or officer in defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by
the corporation in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if
it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to
indemnification under Section 607.0850.

     Subsection (7) of Section 607.0850 of the FBCA states that indemnification
and advancements of expenses provided under Section 607.0850 are not exclusive
and empowers the corporation to make any other further indemnification or
advancement of expenses under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise, for actions in an official capacity and in
other capacities while holding an office.  However, a corporation cannot
indemnify or advance expenses if a judgment or other final adjudication
establishes that the actions of the director, officer, employee or agent were
material to the adjudicated cause of action and such person (a) violated
criminal law, unless the person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b)
derived an improper personal benefit from a transaction, (c) was or is a
director in a circumstance where the liability under Section 607.0834 of the
FBCA (relating to unlawful distributions) applies, or (d) engaged in willful
misconduct or conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a
proceeding by or in right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
or in a proceeding by or in right of a shareholder.

     Subsection (8) of Section 607.0850 provides that indemnification and
advancement of expenses shall continue, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and
administrators of such a person, unless otherwise provided when authorized or
ratified.

     Subsection (9) of Section 607.0850 of the FBCA permits any director or
officer who is or was a party to a proceeding to apply for indemnification or
advancement of expenses, or both, to any court of competent

                                      II-2

<PAGE>

jurisdiction and lists the determinations the court should make before ordering
indemnification or advancement of expenses.

     Subsection (12) of Section 607.0850 of the FBCA permits a corporation to
purchase and maintain insurance for a director or officer against any liability
incurred in his official capacity or arising out of his status as such
regardless of the corporation's power to indemnify him against such liability
under Section 607.0850.

     The Company is obligated under its Bylaws to indemnify a present or former
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and may indemnify any other
person, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative action, suit, or proceeding arising out of an
officer's or director's past or future service to the Company or a subsidiary,
or to another organization at the request of the Company or a subsidiary, if he
acted in faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The determination
of whether the standards referred to above have been met is made by (i) the
Board of Directors of the Company by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to such proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is
not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a majority of a committee of two or more
disinterested directors if so designated by the Board, or (iii) by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the shareholders.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

     (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
and

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

                                      II-3

<PAGE>

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section
13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
