Possible Botox Problem - Chinese Brand?

womanat44
Two women and I got Botox just over a week ago at a reputable place near where we live in Beijing, with Chinese Botox. As background, we have all had Botox done once before, but in the West. Now, while the results are pretty good, we all feel like we are able to scrunch our eyebrows and 11 lines more than after each of our last times (for me, hardly at all and now a lot). Is this a sign that the doc didn't give enough to the glabella? Or could it be something to do with the Chinese brand?
