What do they mean by 'top surgery for cisgender patients'? I thought 'top surgery' was a trans procedure. Are they referring to breast reductions or mastectomies for cancer patients?

I'd assume the latter. I knew a woman with a small frame and very large breasts who got reduction surgery because they were causing her chronic back pain.

Maybe the hospital can respond that they'd be happy to treat this patient's mental illness without chopping her breasts off.

"Chronic back pain because big boobs" doesn't exist. Sincerely, a woman with a small frame and very large breasts.

I find it interesting that not a single lady with big boobs, in my country, has ever lamented back pain due to them. However, it appears that, for some mysterious reason, in America a lot of women with big boobs lament this.

The reason: America is an extremely puritan country and these girls influence each other with the "back pain" excuse to get the breasts reduced for no real reason, which is the lite version of getting them removed entirely because "they're actually men in the mind".

The proof I am right: I bet your friend who got that surgery is American or Canadian and you didn't mention it at all.
