Why do so many people complain about bumps/skin discoloration after beard transplants? Is this an unavoidable side effect?

Is this an unavoidable side effect to this procedure, or are there just a lot of people opting for cheap/less competent clinics? A lot of people say you're literally forced to have a beard afterwards because the skin looks so bad when it's shaven down. While this is a worthwhile trade off for some, it's a complete dealbreaker for me. If I go to a reputable practice, can I be confident that my skin will look completely normal e.g. 1 year after transplant? This is important for me to know.
