I had a hair translant done on my moustache/goatee region. Now at 4 months after I shave recipient area (goatee/moustache) I see some dots, like goosebumps and also mild pigmentation along all the area. Also, if I contract my skin (like the chin area) there is slight formation of depression. I want to know if this is normal and will it heal 100% like my surrounding skin or I'll have to live/compromise with this situation forever? Thanks in advance and please refer to the photos attached.

Answer: Scarring after surgery can be normal

We have done hundreds of such patients over the past 24 years and the sideburns look great. The key to good sideburns is the use of one hair grafts on the outer border and possibly throughout the sideburn area
It could be a myriad of reasons as to why a transplant did not grow. From inexperience to medical autoimmune diseases. You need to consult with your hair restoration professional and possibly get a second opinion.
