How does the paper tape or silicone tape help a tummy tuck scar? Also how are you supposed to apply it?

I will be getting a tummy tuck to remove a large amount of excess skin due to a 70 lbs weight loss. I have been reading all the comments on this site. I noticed everyone talking about the paper tape and silicone tape can someone explain how to use is and if it is necessary?
