Will tape around breasts help lift after dual plane augmentation?

Lanky
I'm post op day 3 following dual plane BA with sientra 415 cc round implants. Post-op, both breasts were taped circumferentially with thick waterproof tape that creates a cone shape. I was told this is to facilitate a lift with healing (had modest level 1 ptosis or even pseudo ptosis). The tape is to remain for 3 weeks. I am wondering if this sort of bandaging is common to help create an "internal lift?" What benefits does it provide?
