I am 35 years old, and over the last 10 years or so, my neck line has become increasingly sloped. I'm not as slim as I used to be, but I'm not excessively overweight. I'm 6'2" and 200 pounds, and keep in shape, but my neck has become an area that is really bothering me. Is this a sloping neck? Obtuse cervicomental angle? Is there a particular specialist for this type of question? Is there a safe and/or typical procedure to improve the shape of my jaw line, or sloping neck? Thank you.
