Hair Transplant Scarring/bumpiness on Recipient Area?

ahassan1980
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.
