My vet has had several cases where very squirmy ferrets have had the implant pop back out. Sometimes it is safe to re-use, but if it hits the floor, it's wasted. So, she uses very light sedation (not enough to put them under, but enough that they're very relaxed). If the sedation is done carefully, with appropriate monitoring, there is very little risk.
