Alot of people have the same problem I sure its not even that noticable the only reason you notice it is because you know its there Otherwise others wont be able to tell the difference

I have off symmetry on a few body parts, most of it is either not noticable or might just be a figment of my imagination, but I have one arm bigger than the other for sure, but like Uconish said, most ppl don't notice, and even if they do who cares, "most people" don't train and eat like we do anyways.

i had a bad neck injury in 99 and my right arm went from 19" to 15" within a couple of months-i could not even curl 5lbs with it cause nerve was crushed and there was no electrical stimulus to right bi and shoulder. i stopped training arms all to gether so as not to look stupid. when i was able to train good again-over a year later- i started back arm training and my right arm was way behind so what i did was every set i would do 1 or 2 extra reps for my right arm with 1 arm curls and squeeze each of those extra reps and it took awhile but it worked my arms are 19"cold now

You will not find an individual with perfect symetry. (Frank Zane was close.) Honestly no right and left bodyparts are the same. Likewise your dominant side is usually larger because of use. Priority training will even the size over time if there is a difference but you'll notice that your left bicep may not peak as much as the right, but it may be thicker or vise/versa. Similarly you'll find most bodyparts like that. For example, my left tricep is longer than the right but the right is thicker. They measure the same, and my right peaks better.
I think it's God's way of reminding us that noone is perfect.

For what it's worth, I have a similar problem with my rear delts (right weaker than left). I consulted a couple of personnal trainers in my gym and they both otld me that the best way to rectify the weakness was to continue exercising both muscles equally, but to use slightly heavier weights on the weaker muscle, thereby encouraging greater growth.
Seems to work, but in my case it's taking it's time!

I think it's very important to do your own research regarding wellness. Knowledge is power. Test every answer in this field. There are many answers and some are not necessarily right for you or worse they may even be wrong.

I noticed a similar thing in the mirror the other day. I'm pretty sure one of my lat's is slightly bigger than the other
Ah well.
