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.

Answer: Slopy neck
In your situation liposuction is not enough to abtain a clean angle of the neck. You will need, in addition to the liposuction, a 'platysmorrhaphy' which means removal of the fat under the neck muscles and tightening of the muscles. See a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Liposculpting for sloping neck line
sculpting the lower third of the face and neck is a great procedure to correct sloping neck line and to create a sharp cervicomental angle. although all surgeons have their own ways of doing it, I use a single 2-3 mm incision on the inside of the chin and sculpt the neck and lower face with that incision. the procedure is done under local anesthesia and the results can be seen within 1 week and full results in 4-6 weeks. I feel like this is a fairly common complaint and by far the most gratifying procedure in my practice. I would highly recommend you consult this with your plastic surgeon. u will be very happy :)
