What should I expect after Botox masseter for one month? Face slimmer or Botox starts to wear off?

kittyjung2002
I got the first time Botox on June 25, 30 units each side. After 2 weeks, I felt sore while I was chewing food and my muscle doesn't clench up anymore. However, it is almost 5 weeks, and I don't see any change. People around me don't see any change either. On the other hand, my jaws don't sore anymore. Also, I start to feel my muscles again (although they aren't strong). Now, I am wondering if I should expect to see my face slimmer at this point, or if my Botox starts to wear off. Thank you,
