Extended breast feeding and boob size/shape

I've been bfeeding my DS for 21 months and my left boob, very early on, became the preferred one - much faster flow and seemed to always been in plentiful supply. However, I made a conscious effort to keep the feeding even on both sides. But after about a year I was probably doing one feed on the right to every two on the left. Now, after nearly two years obviously they don't really fill up and I'm only feeding DS once in the day (but still A LOT at night, frankly, terrible sleeper blah blah blah) but the size difference is ridiculous. I'd say left is a D cup and right is barely a B cup (pre-pregnancy and BF I was a B cup). Will they eventually even out after I've stopped breastfeeding?! I know most women have slightly different sizes, but this is soooo noticeable. I feel ok about hiding it for the time being as I'm still feeding but I don't want it to be a permanent thing!

I had exactly this and they mostly evened out eventually some time after stopping bf. Some years later I've had another baby and gone all lopsided again!

Mine have evened out after only using one side for nearly 3 years. I'm still bf!

i think mine are pretty much even.
dd had always preferred the right, but i forced her to swap sides properly - luckily for us , she only ever had one side per feed, so always started on other side.
left boob always been more floppy than right.
in recent weeks, though (now at 2+10) she's started to prefer the left, but tht's only becauseshe's mostly feeding at night and she prefers the middle of the bed (being "dd's bed"), so she feeds on thatside by preference.
i think my boobs have always been different, but i'm sure it's not noticeable.

My boobs completely changed when I finished breastfeeding. They are heavy and feel lopsided. When I stopped after DS1 (after around 18mo or so) they became a lovely rounded shape (it took about 4mo to settle) and seemed to even out. I loved them even more than pre-DC.

I am now 19mo into feeding DS2 and hoping for the same again!

Thanks ladies! Looking forward to seeing what happens when I eventually stop!
