                                                                     Exhibit 2.1
                          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

            THIS AGREEMENT OF MERGER (the "Agreement"), dated as of December 22,
1998, is entered into by and between INAMED  Corporation,  a Florida corporation
("INAMED Florida") and INAMED  Corporation  (Delaware),  a Delaware  corporation
("INAMED Delaware").

                                   WITNESSETH:

            WHEREAS, INAMED Florida is a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Florida;

            WHEREAS,  the  respective  Boards of Directors of INAMED Florida and
INAMED  Delaware have  determined that it is advisable and in the best interests
of each of such  corporations  that  INAMED  Florida  merge with and into INAMED
Delaware (the  "Merger")  upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this  Agreement  for the  purpose  of  effecting  the  change of the state of
incorporation of INAMED Florida from Florida to Delaware;

            WHEREAS,  the  respective  Boards of Directors of INAMED Florida and
INAMED  Delaware have, by  resolutions  duly adopted,  approved this  Agreement,
subject to the  approval  of the  shareholders  of each of INAMED  Delaware  and
INAMED Florida; and

            WHEREAS,   this  Agreement  is  intended  as  a  tax  free  plan  of
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code;

            NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  mutual  agreements  and
covenants set forth herein,  INAMED Florida and INAMED  Delaware hereby agree as
follows:

            1.  MERGER.  INAMED  Florida  shall be merged  with and into  INAMED
Delaware and INAMED  Delaware  shall be the surviving  corporation  (hereinafter
sometimes referred to as the "Surviving  Corporation").  The Merger shall become
effective  upon the date and time  when  this  Agreement  is made  effective  in
accordance with applicable law (the "Effective Time").

            2.  GOVERNING  DOCUMENTS;  EXECUTIVE  OFFICERS  AND  DIRECTORS.  The
Certificate of Incorporation  of INAMED  Delaware,  from and after the Effective
Time,  shall be the Certificate of  Incorporation  of the Surviving  Corporation
without  change or amendment  until  thereafter  amended in accordance  with the
provisions  thereof and applicable  laws. The Bylaws of INAMED Delaware from and
after the  Effective  Time,  shall be the  Bylaws of the  Surviving  Corporation
without  change or amendment  until  thereafter  amended in accordance  with the
provisions  thereof,  or the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of  the  Surviving
Corporation and applicable laws. The executive  officers,  directors and members
of committees of the Board of Directors of INAMED Delaware,  as of the Effective
Time, shall become the executive  officers,  directors and members of committees
of the  Board of  Directors  of the  Surviving  Corporation,  from and after the
Effective  Time,  until their  respective  successors have been duly elected and
qualify, unless they earlier die, resign or are removed.

            3.  SUCCESSION.  At  the  Effective  Time,  the  separate  corporate
existence of INAMED Florida shall cease,  and INAMED  Delaware shall possess all
the rights, privileges,  powers and franchises of a public and private nature of
INAMED Florida; and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to
INAMED on  whatever  account,  as well as for share  subscriptions  as all other
things in action  belonging to INAMED Florida,  shall be vested in the Surviving
Corporation;  and all property, rights,  privileges,  powers and franchises, and
all and every interest  shall be thereafter as  effectually  the property of the
Surviving  Corporation as they were of INAMED Florida, and the title to any real
estate  vested by deed or otherwise in INAMED  Florida shall not revert or be in
any way impaired by reason of the Merger;  but all rights of  creditors  and all
liens upon any property of INAMED Florida shall be preserved unimpaired, and all
debts,  liabilities and duties of INAMED Florida shall thenceforth attach to the
Surviving  Corporation  and may be enforced  against it to the same extent as if
such debts,  liabilities  and duties had been  incurred or contracted by it. All
corporate  acts,  plans,  policies,  agreements,   arrangements,  approvals  and
authorizations  of INAMED  Florida  its  shareholders,  Board of  Directors  and
committees  thereof,   


                                      -5-
<PAGE>
officers  and agents  which were valid and  effective  immediately  prior to the
Effective Time,  shall be taken for all purposes as the acts,  plans,  policies,
agreements,  approvals and authorizations of the Surviving Corporation and shall
be as  effective  and  binding  thereon as the same were with  respect to INAMED
Florida.  The employees and agents of INAMED  Florida shall become the employees
and agents of the Surviving  Corporation and continue to be entitled to the same
rights  and  benefits  which  they  enjoyed  as  employees  and agents of INAMED
Florida. The requirements of any plans or agreements of INAMED Florida involving
the  issuance  or purchase  by INAMED  Florida of certain  shares of its capital
stock shall be  satisfied by the issuance or purchase of a like number of shares
of the Surviving Corporation.

            4. FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  From time to time,  as and when required by
the  Surviving  Corporation  or by its  successors  or  assigns,  there shall be
executed  and  delivered  on  behalf  of  INAMED  Florida  such  deeds and other
instruments,  and  there  shall be taken  or  caused  to be taken by it all such
further and other  action,  as shall be  appropriate,  advisable or necessary in
order to vest,  perfect or confirm,  of record or  otherwise,  in the  Surviving
Corporation  the title to and  possession  of all property,  interests,  assets,
rights,  privileges,  immunities,  powers,  franchises  and  authority of INAMED
Florida,  and  otherwise  to carry out the purposes of this  Agreement,  and the
officers and directors of the Surviving  Corporation are fully authorized in the
name and on behalf  of INAMED  Florida  or  otherwise,  to take any and all such
action and to execute and deliver any and all such deeds and other instruments.

            5.  CONVERSION OF SHARES.  At the  Effective  Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof:

                        (a) each share of the common  stock,  par value $.01 per
share  (the  "INAMED  Florida  Common  Stock")  of  INAMED  Florida  outstanding
immediately  prior to the Effective Time shall be changed and converted into and
shall be one fully paid and nonassessable  share of common stock, par value $.01
per share  (the  "INAMED  Delaware  Common  Stock")  of INAMED  Delaware  and no
fractional shares shall be issued and fractions of half or more shall be rounded
to a whole share and fractions of less than half shall be disregarded, such that
the issued and outstanding  capital stock of INAMED Delaware  resulting from the
conversion of the capital stock of INAMED  Florida upon the Effective Time shall
be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock at that time; and

                        (b) As of the Effective  Time,  INAMED  Delaware  hereby
assumes  all  obligations  under any and all  employee  benefit  plans of INAMED
Florida in effect as of the  Effective  Time or with  respect to which  employee
rights or accrued  benefits are  outstanding  as of the Effective Time and shall
continue  the  stock  option  plans of  INAMED  Florida.  Each  outstanding  and
unexercised option,  warrant or other right to purchase, or security convertible
into INAMED  Florida  Common Stock shall  become an option,  warrant or right to
purchase,  or a security  convertible  into the Surviving  Corporation's  Common
Stock on the basis of one share of the Surviving  Corporation's Common Stock for
each share of INAMED Florida Common Stock issuable  pursuant to any such option,
warrant or stock purchase right or convertible  security,  on the same terms and
conditions  and at an  exercise  or  conversion  price  per  share  equal to the
exercise or conversion  price per share  applicable  to any such INAMED  Florida
option,  warrant,  stock  purchase  right or other  convertible  security at the
Effective Time.

                        A number of shares of the Surviving Corporation's Common
Stock shall be reserved  for issuance  upon the  exercise of options,  warrants,
stock purchase rights and convertible  securities  equal to the number of shares
of INAMED  Florida Common Stock so reserved  immediately  prior to the Effective
Time.

                        (c) the shares of INAMED Delaware Common Stock presently
issued and  outstanding  in the name of INAMED  Florida  shall be  canceled  and
retired  and resume  the  status of  authorized  and  unissued  shares of INAMED
Delaware  Common Stock,  and no shares of INAMED  Delaware Common Stock or other
securities of INAMED Florida shall be issued in respect thereof.

            6. STOCK  CERTIFICATES.  As of and after the Effective  Time, all of
the outstanding  certificates  which,  immediately  prior to the Effective Time,
represented  shares of  INAMED  Florida  Common  Stock  shall be deemed  for all
purposes to evidence  ownership of, and to represent,  shares of INAMED Delaware
Common  Stock into  which the shares of INAMED  Florida  Common  Stock  formerly
represented by such  certificates,  have been converted as herein provided.  The
registered  owner on the books and records of the Surviving  Corporation  or its
transfer agents of any such  outstanding  stock  certificate  shall,  until such
certificate shall have been surrendered for transfer or otherwise  accounted for
to the Surviving  Corporation  or its transfer  agents,  have and be entitled to

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

exercise  any voting  and other  rights  with  respect  to,  and to receive  any
dividends and other  distributions  upon, the shares of INAMED  Delaware  Common
Stock evidenced by such outstanding certificate as above provided.

            7. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.  This Agreement has been approved by INAMED
Florida under Section  607.1103 of the Florida  Business  Corporation Act by the
shareholders  representing in excess of 50% of the issued and outstanding voting
securities  of  INAMED  Florida.  This  Agreement  has been  approved  by INAMED
Delaware  under  Section  253 of the  General  Corporation  Law of the  State of
Delaware. The signature of INAMED Florida on this Agreement shall constitute its
written consent as sole  shareholder of INAMED  Delaware,  to this Agreement and
the Merger.

            8. OTHER EMPLOYEE  BENEFIT PLANS. As of the Effective  Time,  INAMED
Delaware hereby assumes all obligations under any and all employee benefit plans
of INAMED  Florida in effect as of the  Effective  Time or with respect to which
employee rights or accrued benefits are outstanding as of the Effective Time.

            9. AMENDMENT. To the full extent permitted by applicable law, this
Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by written agreement of the
parties hereto, either before or after approval of the shareholders of the
constituent corporations and at any time prior to the Effective Time with
respect to any of the terms contained herein.

            10.  ABANDONMENT.  At any time  prior to the  Effective  Time,  this
Agreement  may be  terminated  and the Merger may be  abandoned by the Boards of
Directors of INAMED Florida or INAMED Delaware, notwithstanding approval of this
Agreement  by the  shareholders  of INAMED  Delaware or by the  shareholders  of
INAMED Florida, or both, if, in the opinion of either of the Boards of Directors
of INAMED Florida or INAMED Delaware,  circumstances  arise which in the opinion
of such Boards of Directors, make the Merger for any reason inadvisable.

            11. COUNTERPARTS. In order to facilitate the filing and recording of
this Agreement,  the same may be executed in two or more  counterparts,  each of
which shall be deemed to be an original and the same agreement.

            12. FLORIDA  APPOINTMENT.  INAMED Delaware hereby agrees that it may
be  served  with  process  in the State of  Florida  in any  action  or  special
proceeding  for  enforcement of any liability or obligation of INAMED Florida or
INAMED Delaware arising from the Merger.  INAMED Delaware appoints the Secretary
of State of the State of  Florida  as its agent to accept  service of process in
any such suit or other  proceeding and a copy of such process shall be mailed by
the  Secretary  of State of Florida to INAMED  Delaware  at 3800  Howard  Hughes
Parkway, Suite 900, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101.

            13. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
