Does masseter Botox have permanent effects?

Asked By:Vivid34035

I got masseter botox 8 months ago and it completely narrowed my round face to an egg/oval shape, and I pretty much lost all volume in my face. I didn't have strong masseters in the first place, they were very weak. To this day , it is still the same and there hasn't been any sign of improvement. I've been chewing everyday and although it feels stronger, the muscle doesn't look like it got any bigger. Did I get too much as a first timer? (35 units, 15 on one side and 20 on the other).
