Item 5.   Other Events.

          On February 1, 2000, Inamed Corporation (the "Company") entered into
$107.5 million senior secured credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities") with
Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and lenders named in the Credit Agreement (the "Loan
Agreement"). The Credit Facilities include (a) term loans in the amount of $82.5
million (the "Term Loans"), (b) a revolving credit facility under which the
Company may from time to time borrow up to $25 million (the "Revolving Loans"),
and (c) subfacilities for letters of credit and swing line loans (the "Other
Loans").

          The Term Loans, advances under the Revolving Facility and the Other
Loans will bear interest at the rate of either (i) the one, two, three or six
month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin of 3.75%
or (ii) prime rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%. The applicable margin is
subject to change based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. The term
of the Loan Agreement is five years and the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and
Other Loans are guaranteed on a senior basis by all of the Company's material
U.S. subsidiaries and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of
the Company and its material U.S. subsidiaries.

          The Company used proceeds of the Term Loans to refinance approximately
$78.6 million of its senior secured bridge notes.

          The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Loan Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.
