when people get a birth control implant in their arm, what keeps it from moving around and cutting up flesh?

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.

The tissue it sits in isn’t that fragile as to let round soft plastic to damage it. If you feel your own arm you’ll probably notice that your fingers aren’t enough to crush what’s in there, even if you push really hard. Now imagine a little plastic pill that weighs a couple grams siting in the same spot.
