Question

I get that they aren’t sharp, but u don’t understand why they wouldn’t still move around or cut through muscles/tendons/veins.

In addition to the other comments, the layers of skin are connected with a mesh-like network of connective tissue. The implant sits within that mesh, which helps restrict its movement.
