Closing mouth

[meris]

I have this shot, and it's the only shot at this angle. He doesn't like that the mouth is open. Is it possible to edit the mouth closed, and fix the throat area? I don't have another shot exactly at this angle. I have some slightly similar. Is it possible at all, or a no go?

Talking about similar angles, these are it, nothing completely closed though close enough. Neck area still needs to be fixed.

The neck area would be a simple enough Liquify job, but I'm calling "impossible" on the mouth closing, sorry.

The first one looks similar enough, I reckon.  It might work.

I get liquify, and maybe trying to copy more of the collar edge from further up. Problem is that shirt is actually patterned. Probably hard to see here, it's a tiny check pattern. You can't really push it too far or it will stretch. Any tips on working that?

That's only a problem if you try to liquify too precisely. Make it nice and big.

Thanks I'll give it a go

This is my attempt. Swapped mouth, seems OK.

I feel there's something wrong with the neck area. Like there's no neck. Where would you suggest I go from here?

I know what you mean, but I don't see what else you can do.
