TMJ has returned 3 months after 25 units of Botox to masseter muscle. How long until the masseter muscles begin to reappear?

Penelope Wonders
I've always had TMJ and a strong jawline. While 25 units of botox to each side slimmed my face too much, the plus side is that my TMJ disappeared entirely for the first 3 months following treatment. Now my TMJ has returned, but my masseters are still not visible. Can someone please advise as to how much longer it will take for the masseters to reappear? I'm super close to getting filler to help with my proportions, but I'd hate to do this if my masseter starts coming back one week later...
