Are there any procedures that can fix a "forward trachea" and if so, how dangerous are they? (Photo)

I have what I've seen referred to as a forward trachea. If you look at the picture, on the left would be a normal person and on the right would be me. The blue is the angle of my throat and the orange shows how the skin makes a curved slope from my chin to my neck, unlike the other picture. Is there any type of surgery to fix this? If there is it seems like it would be dangerous since it's dealing with the throat. Thanks in advance.
