Anchor Cut vs. Hip to Hip Incision?

Hi! I posted this same thing on the plastic surgery message board, but thought I might be able to get some answers over here as well... I am scheduled for my TT () on 7/13. My surgeon said to me at my initial consult that she would be doing a hip to hip incision, not an anchor cut. She said I will have a flat belly by doing the hip to hip (Not that I wouldn't by having an anchor cut). My 1st question is this: I discovered yesterday in a dressing room with a bunch of mirrors that I have rolls on my back. I had never really noticed them before because I never see my back. Would an anchor cut TT help "iron" those rolls out? I'm certain that a hip to hip incision won't do anything to the back rolls. The rolls are really more like a little bit on the outside part of my back, and there's only a couple. Not looking for a lower body lift. Tummy tuck is being done due to a fairly extreme amount of skin (panni) that is causing skin rashes/irritations under the panni and in the belly button. My 2nd question is this: Does anyone know if the insurance approval would be different between an anchor cut incision TT and a hip to hip incision? I'm going to call my insurance in a little while, but wanted to see if any of you would know this. Thanks in advance! Paula 250/143/130-135ish
