What is a pinch rhytidectomy? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Anon8844
I had a SMAS face and neck lift 15 months ago. I now have loose skin in my lower face and neck. A pinch rhytidectomy and neck lift have been suggested as a secondary procedure to correct the loose skin. I am concerned about the success of this procedure and a possibly unnatural result.
