earnings are a testament to the hard work and commitment of the Inamed
employees. We look forward to the next few months and years with great
excitement and anticipation."

     Financial Results

     Diluted GAAP earnings per share grew 18% in the fourth quarter 2004 to
$0.52, an increase from $0.44 in the fourth quarter 2003. Diluted GAAP earnings
per share for the full year 2004 increased 16% to $1.75, up from $1.51 in 2003.
     Diluted Non-GAAP earnings per share for the full year 2004 were $2.04,
excluding a pretax $17.2 million charge for the Ethicon settlement and related

     Inamed Businesses

     Sales for the fourth quarter were $103.8 million, an increase of 14% over
the fourth quarter 2003, and sales for the full year 2004 were $384.4 million,
an increase of 16% over 2003. The fourth quarter sales represent the first time
in the Company's history that sales exceeded $100 million in a quarter.

     Inamed Health - Obesity Intervention

     Worldwide sales of obesity intervention products in the fourth quarter 2004
increased 47% over the fourth quarter 2003 to $26.0 million. Full year 2004
obesity intervention sales grew 40% over sales in 2003 to $88.5 million.

     Inamed Aesthetics - Breast

     Worldwide breast aesthetics product sales in the fourth quarter 2004 were
up 20% over the fourth quarter 2003 to $56.3 million. For the full year 2004,
sales increased 21% over sales in 2003 to $215.8 million.

     Inamed Aesthetics - Facial

     Worldwide facial aesthetics product sales in the fourth quarter 2004
decreased 20% over sales in the fourth quarter 2003 to $20.6 million. For the
full year 2004, sales decreased 13% over sales in 2003 to $75.6 million.

     Foreign Currency Effect

     Foreign exchange favorably impacted revenue by approximately $2.3 million
for the fourth quarter 2004 and $11.1 million for the full year 2004,
principally from the strengthening Euro. This favorable impact benefited each of
Inamed's businesses.

     Gross Profit Margin

     The gross profit margin in the fourth quarter 2004 was 74%, up from 73% in
the fourth quarter 2003. The full year gross profit margin for 2004 was 75%, up
from 72% in 2003. The primary factors for the increase in margins were a
favorable product mix and operational efficiencies. Additionally, in 2003 the
gross profit margin reflected accelerated depreciation expense of $0.6 million
and $3.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, caused by
the Company's manufacturing consolidation program.

     Selling, General and Administrative

     For the fourth quarter 2004, selling, general and administrative expenses
were $42.9 million or 41% of sales, compared to $41.1 million or 45% of sales
for the fourth quarter 2003. The fourth quarter 2003 included a $2.1 million
charge for doubtful accounts in respect of the Company's Italian facial
aesthetics business. The full year 2004 SG&A expenses, which include the pre tax
$17.2 million charge related to the Ethicon settlement and related litigation
expenses, were $179.7 million or 47% of sales compared to $141.8 million or 43%
of sales for the full year 2003. Excluding the charges related to the Ethicon
settlement, SG&A expenses were $162.5 million for the full year 2004 or 42% of
sales.

     Research and Development

     The research and development expense in the fourth quarter 2004 was 9% of
sales or $9.7 million compared to 6% of sales or $5.3 million in the fourth
quarter of 2003. For the full year 2004, R&D expense was 7.5% of sales or $28.8
million, up from 6.5% of sales or $21.5 million in 2003. This investment in R&D
was due to the progression of key clinical development programs, primarily in
our facial aesthetics franchise.

     Balance Sheet

     At December 31, 2004, Inamed's cash and short-term investment balance was
$130 million, an increase of $50 million from December 31, 2003, principally
from cash provided by operating activities. Also Inamed's long-term debt as of
December 31, 2004 was $22.5 million reflecting further principal payments during
2004.

     Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

     Certain of the information set forth herein, including diluted Non-GAAP

along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating
the Company's operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP
