When Does Jaw/masseter Botox Wear Off?

stellaooh
I got botox in my masseter muscle in the beginning of Aug. 2012, at age 23, almost 9 months ago. Since then, I've hated how my facial structure has changed. My face is much narrower, as if I lost all of my baby fat in my cheeks (I like the rounder and fuller look because I think it's more youthful). I wear retainers at night because I had braces when I was 19. When can I expect my face to return to normal? I wish I could look as young as I did a year ago :(
