ITEM 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          -------------------------------------------------

     Of the 1,098,214 Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of Warrants,

Shares were purchased from the Company with the funds of Palomino Holdings
at an aggregate exercise price of $4,118,302.50. Of the 2,660,343 Shares

ITEM 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
          ------------------------------------

     On April 29, 1999, the Partnership and Palomino each purchased 549,107
Shares, or 1,098,214 Shares in the aggregate, by exercising all Warrants
held by them at an aggregate exercise price of $8,236,605 (or $7.50 per
share).

     On April 29, 1999, the Partnership and Palomino Holdings purchased
1,330,172 and 1,330,171 Shares, respectively, or 2,660,343 Shares in the
aggregate, by exercising all Exchange Warrants held by them at an aggregate
exercise price of $14,631,886.50 (or $5.50 per share).

     As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D,
pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and the Letter Agreement, the
Partnership and Palomino had the right to acquire 154,450 and 154,449
Shares, respectively, from a court-supervised fund. Prior to the date
hereof, Palomino transferred its right to acquire such Shares to Palomino
Holdings. On April 29, 1999, the Partnership and Palomino Holdings
exercised their rights to purchase all of such Shares at an aggregate
purchase price of $2,173,697 (or approximately $7.04 per share).

     In addition, on April 29, 1999, the Partnership, Palomino and Tersk
purchased, in the aggregate, 123,000 Shares in the open market at an
aggregate purchase price of $1,583,625 (or at an average price per share of
$12.875).

     Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the Partnership, Palomino,
Palomino Holdings and Tersk may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of
3,018,272, 735,076, 2,350,176 and 65,528 Shares, respectively (or 6,169,052
Shares in the aggregate).

(a)  This statement on Schedule 13D relates to 6,169,052 Shares which may
     be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and which
     constitute approximately 37.6% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

(b)  The Manager may be deemed to have the sole voting and dispositive
     power with respect to 6,169,052 Shares. Mr. Tepper may be deemed to
     have sole voting power and dispositive power with respect to 6,169,052
     Shares.

(c)  Except as described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting
     Persons have effected any transactions in Shares during the sixty days
     preceding the date of this Schedule 13D.

(d)  Not applicable

(e)  Not applicable


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

     Pursuant to the Letter, dated April 2, 1999 (the "Letter"), from the
Company to holders of Exchange Warrants (a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference herein), the Company offered
such holders who exercise all or a portion of their Exchange Warrants
during the period beginning April 2, 1999 and ending April 30, 1999 (the
"Exercise Period") an exercise fee of $0.70 (the "Fee") for each Share
purchased through the exercise of Exchange Warrants. Pursuant to the terms
of the Letter, following completion of the Exercise Period all holders of
Exchange Warrants who exercised all or a portion of such Exchange Warrants
during the Exercise Period will be entitled to receive the applicable Fee
from the Company. Accordingly, the Partnership and Palomino Holdings, both
of which exercised all Exchange Warrants held by them, are entitled to
receive an aggregate Fee of $1,862,240.10. The Company, the Partnership and
Palomino Holdings have agreed that the Company may pay the Fee payable to
the Partnership and Palomino Holdings in cash and in Notes, such that the
Partnership and Palomino Holdings will each be entitled to receive
$425,529.75 in cash and $505,590.30 in aggregate principal amount of Notes.

April 2, 1999

Warrant Holder:

Warrant to Purchase:

Aggregate Exercise Price for
warrant shares @ $5.50 per share:

          Reference is made to the Exchange Warrants, dated November 5,
1998, to purchase shares of common stock, $.01 par value, of INAMED
Corporation (the "Company") expiring September 1, 2002 (the "Exchange
Warrants"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Exchange Warrants.

          As you are aware, on March 3, 1999, the statutory 30-day period
for filing appeals from the final order approving the mandatory class
settlement of the Company's breast implant litigation expired. No notices
of appeal were filed with the Federal District Court during that period.
Accordingly, under the terms of the settlement agreement between the
Company and the Plaintiffs' Settlement Class Counsel, the Company is
currently required, among other things, to repay the $25.5 million
promissory note that was previously issued to the court-supervised escrow
agent for the benefit of the plaintiff class. The Company intends to
finance a portion of the settlement through the exercise of outstanding
Exchange Warrants. To the extent additional proceeds are realized by the
Company in excess of amounts required to fund the litigation settlement,
the Company, in its sole discretion, may redeem a portion of the Company's
11% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 1, 2000 pursuant to the terms
thereof.

          In order to induce holders of the Exchange Warrants to exercise
their Exchange Warrants, the Company has determined to offer those holders
who exercise all or a portion of their Exchange Warrants during the period
beginning April 2, 1999 and ending April 30, 1999 (the "Exercise Period")
an exercise fee of $0.70 (the "Fee") per share of Common Stock purchased
through the exercise of the Exchange Warrants. Accordingly, during the
Exercise Period the Exchange Warrants may be exercised by the holders
thereof for a Warrant Price of $5.50 per share by following the procedures
for exercise set forth in Section 2 of the Exchange Warrants, including the
surrender of your Warrant Certificates with a duly signed Subscription
Form, and payment of the Warrant Price, prior to the end of the Exercise
Period. Following the completion of the Exercise Period, all holders of
Exchange Warrants who exercised all or a portion of such Exchange Warrants
during the Exercise Period shall promptly receive the applicable Fee. All
Exchange Warrants not exercised during the Exercise Period will continue to
be exercisable at the Warrant Price as set forth in the Exchange Warrants,
which at the present time is $5.50 per share, following the Exercise
Period, without a Fee.

          For your convenience, the Company has attached a Subscription
Form. If you wish to exercise your Exchange Warrants, you must complete the
attached Subscription Form and return it, along with the original Exchange
Warrants to be exercised, payment for the exercise price and the attached
Representation Certificate, to the Company at the address written above
prior to the end of the Exercise Period. For your information, we have
enclosed the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

          If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned at (212) 626-6800 or Adam Finerman, of Olshan Grundman Frome
Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP at (212) 451-2289.

                                             Very truly yours,
