Shouldn't 30 units of botox be sufficient for glabellar 11's? (Photo)

jesse0622
I had 20 units of botox for my glabellar 11's. After 7 days, I wasn't pleased with the result - my lines were still quite pronounced. The doctor injected 10 more units. It's been 10 days since then, and I still feel like my lines are quite pronounced. I can definitely move those muscles and make a frown. From my research, it seems like 30 units should have been sufficient (I'm a 40 year old female). Is it possible the doctor didn't do the best job on placing the injections? Thoughts?
