It's a good idea to have them scanned each year. I think you may have meant “migrate” not fall out. The first ones moved a little, and newer models don’t seem to have that much of a problem. The reason they suggest getting them tested each year is to see if the number is still showing up correctly, to see if it has migrated, and or even to see if there is any tumor around the site. It’s possible a tumor could grow, but remember a tumor doesn’t mean cancer.
