If you have any questions, you should call the doctor and ask for sure.
Below is a website which has questions and answers on Plastibell device for circumcision.
Plastibell device for circumcision
The Plastibell is a plastic device slipped between the penis and the foreskin to circumcise a male. A cut in the foreskin usually is required before the device can be placed. Sterile string is tied around the device and over the foreskin to cut off the blood supply. Foreskin tissue is trimmed off and the end of the bell is removed, leaving the ring tied in place.
Tissue remaining under the ring dies and is sloughed off. The ring should fall off by itself about 10 to 12 days after the circumcision.
Advantages
Many doctors are familiar and comfortable with its use.
Different-sized bells allow a custom fit for each infant.
The device produces good cosmetic results.
Disadvantages
The device is more likely than the Mogen clamp to cause excessive bleeding.
Infection is more likely after this procedure than after the other procedures for circumcision.
There is a delay in the removal of foreskin tissue.

you shouldn't have done it in the first place, think about it, every male in the world since the creation of man has been born with it, must be a reason, or am I just stupid? The tighter the cut the more errogoneous tissue you cut off.
