Weight LIfting and Arms

I'm doing the Stronglifts program and am 8 sessions in. I've been taking pics of my arms, just to compare, and have happily noticed that they're firming up pretty nicely. However... My right arm has slightly less 'batwing' now than my left. This will eventually even out, right? Or since I'm right handed should I do some isolation lifts with my left arm to keep muscle development even?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    Just lift to get bigger and if it does not balance out enough down the road focus on it more directly.

    Oh, the goal is not to get bigger. My arms are already 13 1/2 inches around. I want them to be less squishy and more hard scary muscle like my Manbeast's.

    Do some unilateral lifting too.

    I've no plans to quit lifting over this. Just wondering if the training should be modified or if things will even out. Guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and see what happens.

    Give it time and do some unilateral work. Which means if its a barbell exercise for your arms break it down to a dumbbell exercise, and either rep both arms at the same time or 1 then the other.
