Almost everyone has a small discrepancy between legs. Average iirc is 4mm and that amount or less often never noticed. People don't get surgery for a discrepancy less than 0.5" (13mm) and just get an orthopedic insert in their shoe. I'm not sure they even make orthopedic inserts as small as 1-2mm. If one does LL, then one can lengthen an extra 1-2mm on the shorter side and end up nearly perfectly even. Talk to your doctor and get a professional opinion, but imo 1-2mm discrepancy is not likely an issue.

Υοu do nothing. 1-2 mm are not a discrepancy and most normal people have bigger discrepancies than that of up to 0,5 cm.
So don't think about it, it won't cause you any problem at all.
