Will face fill out again after third masseter botox treatment? I'm a 26 year old female with bruxism.

In July 2015, I had my first injection of 25 units total. In October 2015, I had another 28 units total. I only noticed VERY subtle jaw slimming effect. I went to a new doctor who insisted on 32 units total for a third treatment the end of April this year. My face has dramatically narrowed & my cheeks appear sunken. I am really upset about this. Will my face fill out again to size before treatment if I permanently stop the botox? I read things online about it being permanent & that scares me.
