I just had Botox injected in my forehead 3 days ago. Are the indentations in my forehead permanent?

I had a face mask on for part of today and after I removed it I noticed an indentation from where the mask was sitting on my forehead. It's been a few hours and it's still there. Is this going to last for then the next few months or will it go away?
