Botox 3 times in masseter, is it going to be permanent?

ManishaK
I had mildly hypertrophied jaw muscles. I got botox injection,25 units each side last yr. I felt it over slimmed them and looked very odd .So got only 10 units next time ,3mnths bk, and 5 units each side very lately. Issue is post latest injection of just 5 units, it again seemed to have over slimmed massters. I am afraid there might be a chance of it being permanent. Can you please suggest? How long can it take for muscles to be back? What should be the dose next time? Many thanks in advance!!
