I don't think there is really a way to fix it completely. You can make it look a lot better by getting better body or face textures. For example Robert Male Better Necklines and IFT Improved Facial Textures, though it also to good look for race specific textures. Also make sure you armor matches your body type.

I found a pretty good set of instructions for minimizing that awful neck seam.

 

Install these mods in this order:

 

1. Robert's bodies first, with the male v4 head textures for imperials, dark elves and orcs, plus Robert's tweaked human head and orc head

 

2. Optimized Facegen Files

 

3. Improved Facial Textures's age maps. Not the full thing, since it contains head textures, and I don't want those. I removed headhuman.dds, headhuman_n.dds, headdarkelf.dds, and headdarkelf_n.dds. I also omitted to install the orc folder and the dremora folder, myself.

 

(Aaand Improved Argonian Facial Textures, if you care. But it really doesn't matter when you install that one.)

 

Oh, and in Nifskope I renamed the material for the body parts meshes (heads, ears, tails) of all races to 'skin', and made sure the material settings were the same for all parts.

 

You can also use mods specifically made for covering up what's left of the neck seam, such as Luchaires Neck Seam Concealer, Custom Neckerchiefs, and Scarves.

 

Also note that the male better necklines textures DO NOT WORK with version 5.
