Incisions and another question, please

I just got word from my insurance co. that my abdominoplasty has been approved...yea!!! I've been reading on the plasticsurgery support group list that there is some question and some differing views on anchor incisions verses just hip to hip. Can anyone give me their views on the two? My surgeon said he will just do hip to hip. But, I do plan on having a 2nd opinion. My other question: Insurance approved the abdominoplasty so fast that I'm now thinking maybe I'll ask my doctor to request approval for a lower body lift (thighplasty?) and just see if they'll cover that as well. Should I leave well-enough alone or try for the whole kit and caboodle? I don't want to test my luck too far! Thanks!
