This is a YouTube video titled "Awake Mini Tummy Tuck" (created 2016-12-07) that contains a surgical procedure narration. A single speaker (the clinician/narrator) describes performing a mini tummy tuck on an awake, locally numbed patient—removing excess skin and fat, bringing tissue together, and performing closure with fine stitches. The narrator emphasizes the patient is awake, comfortable, and that this was not a full tummy tuck.

All right, it's Friday. We got a really great case today. Today we're gonna be doing this mini tuck. We're gonna be taking out all this excess stuff here in the office. We're gonna be removing all of this stuff here. She's awake and relaxed. We just have her covered up so you don't see her face, but right now we're just numbing her. All this excess skin, we're gonna bring this nice and tight together here so she doesn't have this overhanging anymore. Super excited we were able to get all this skin out, all this fatty tissue, all this extra fat here, and get her nice and thin down here. Closure now, so we're bringing this all together, doing a lot of fine stitching. She's still awake, we just have her covered right now so you don't see her face. She's super comfortable. Got her nice and closed up. All we did is take out this extra skin. We did not do a full tummy tuck on her. She is awake, she just wanted that out.
