A 34-year-old man presented with facial asymmetry and was diagnosed with left-sided hemimandibular hyperplasia. Orthognathic surgery and mandibular angle osteotomy combined with inferior alveolar nerve repositioning were performed with computer-aided design. The facial asymmetry was successfully corrected with acceptable cosmetic results. Inferior alveolar nerve repositioning provided sufficient space for the osteotomy of the affected side with the abnormal mandibular canal. Inferior alveolar nerve repositioning with computer-aided design can be used as an effective and reliable technique for hemimandibular hyperplasia.
