December 12, 1997, Amendment No. 9 filed on October 2, 1998 and Amendment
No. 10 filed on November 9, 1998 (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
        -----------------------

     In addition to acting as an investment adviser to the Partnership,
Palomino and Palomino Holdings, the Manager is the managing member of Tersk
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Tersk"). The address of the
principal business and principal office of Tersk is c/o Appaloosa
Management L.P., 26 Main Street, 1st Floor, Chatham, New Jersey 07928.

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

Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D,
88,455 Shares were purchased with the funds of the Partnership, 102,293
Shares were purchased with the funds of Palomino and 11,252 Shares were
purchased with the funds of Tersk.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
        ----------------------

     The Company has invited two representatives of the Reporting Persons
to join the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). Mr. Tepper and
James Bolin, Vice President of Appaloosa Partners Inc., the general partner
of the Manager, expect to join the Board later this month.

     Except as indicated above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in any of the events, actions or
conditions specified in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this
Schedule, although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to determine in
the future to take any action which relates to or would result in any such
events, actions or conditions.

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

     Prior to the date hereof, the Partnership transferred 47,166 Shares to
Tersk such that as of March 8, 1999, the Partnership, Palomino, Palomino
Holdings and Tersk beneficially owned 2,720,411, 417,400, 2,350,176 and
47,166 Shares, respectively (or 5,535,153 Shares in the aggregate).

     Since the filing of Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D, on March 9,
1999, the Partnership, Palomino and Tersk purchased, in the aggregate,
202,000 Shares in the open market. In addition and as more fully described
in Item 6 below, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, dated April 2, 1998,
between the Company and the Manager (the "Letter Agreement") (a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference
herein), the Partnership and Palomino have the right to purchase 154,450
and 154,449 Shares, respectively (or 308,899 Shares in the aggregate).

     Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the Partnership, Palomino,
Palomino Holdings and Tersk may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of
2,963,316, 674,142, 2,350,176 and 58,418 Shares, respectively (or 6,046,052
Shares in the aggregate).

(a)  This statement on Schedule 13D relates to 6,046,052 Shares which may
     be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and which
     constitute approximately 36.7% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

(b)  The Manager may be deemed to have the sole voting and dispositive
     power with respect to 6,046,052 Shares. Mr. Tepper may be deemed to
     have sole voting power and dispositive power with respect to 6,046,052
     Shares.

(c)  Within the past 60 days, the Reporting Persons purchased Shares on the
     date, in the amounts and at the prices set forth in Exhibit B annexed
     hereto and incorporated by reference herein. All of such purchases
     were made on the open market.

(d)  Not applicable

(e)  Not applicable


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

     Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, dated April 2,
1998, between the Company and the Plaintiff's Settlement Class Counsel (the
"Settlement Agreement"), the Company deposited 426,323 Shares into a
court-supervised fund. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company had the
right, in certain circumstances, to acquire all of such Shares in exchange
for payment of $3 million in cash. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the
Company assigned such right to acquire such Shares pro rata to the holders
of the Notes. Accordingly, the Partnership and Palomino, holders of
approximately 72.5% of the Notes in the aggregate, have the right, and
intend to acquire, 308,899 Shares in exchange for payment in the amount of
approximately $2,175,000.

Dear Jim:

Today the Company is entering into a formal settlement agreement with the
Plaintiffs' Settlement Class Counsel (the "PSCC"), which provides for a
limited fund mandatory class action settlement of the breast implant
litigation. A copy of that agreement is attached.

The Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note, which appears as Exhibit C to
the settlement agreement, includes as Section 7 a provision which was
requested by the PSCC; namely, that subordination in right of payment of
principal and interest to the Company's existing 11% senior secured debt
and any new senior secured debt would terminate as of the 90th day after
the Final Order becomes final and non-appealable. This provision does not
impair the priority in the event of liquidation which the existing senior
debt would hold with respect to the Subordinated Note.

In consideration for Appaloosa and its affiliates prospectively consenting
to this provision with respect to the current indenture and to the
contemplated future modification or refinancing of the Company's senior
debt, the Company agrees to make the holders of the Company's 11% senior
secured notes the Company's designee for the right to call the $3 million
of Common Stock, which arises under Section IV.B.6 of the settlement
agreement. The purpose of this letter is to confirm that consent and
agreement.

Very truly yours,

INAMED CORPORATION
