How Long Does Botox Take to Work in the Masseter Muscles?

tovegi999
How long does Botox take to work in the masseter muscles? I have thick masseter muscles and i want to get some botox injections on each side to reduce them, can anyone possibly tell me about how long after the injections will they really shrink down? i have heard that it takes months to work from some people and then from others it just takes days, thanks for the answers.
