So what I am about to tell you has absolutely nothing to do with Sorribes or otoplasty, but hey, it’s my blog right? I suppose I can do what I want (Feel free to skim through, Sorribes stuff is coming I promise).
For those of you who don’t know (ok probably everyone) I moved from Chicago to Los Angeles last fall leaving behind a great job. I cold emailed my dream company (MarketCast) the day I moved, and never heard back from them. Since then I have been been doing a lot of freelance and temporary work, and I started my own dog walking business, but things have been extremely…slow.
Two weeks ago, a position opened up at MarketCast, and I RACED to the computer to check out the hiring manager, and tried to wow her into giving me an interview. And it worked!
She emailed back immediately saying she liked my experience, and I should be hearing from HR shortly! Only I didn’t hear from HR that day. Or the next. Or the day after that. I started to wonder what “shortly” was supposed to mean. So I followed up. I emailed her again on Friday and she said she would check in with HR. But on Monday- nothing. Tuesday- nothing. I worked up the courage to call her today, and she said (very evenly) that HR was going to call candidates next weeks to set up interviews.
So…I still don’t know what’s going on. Do you guys think that’s a blow-off? She was extremely hard to read on the phone. I honestly wish hiring managers could just SAY if they are looking for something different.
Pray for me, well wish, send me light, whatever, but it would be AMAZING to even have an opportunity to interview with this company. Get that out into the universe! I want this more than I want less prominent ears haha!
Ok back to Sorribes stuff…
I bought this bad boy last week so I could do some measuring
but it hasn’t come yet. I plan to measure at the most prominent part of my ears and do a weekly log that I will share with you.
Does anyone have any questions about otoplasty? I have found someone that has had the procedure done, and I have asked him if he’d be interested in doing an interview with me about it. So gather up all of your questions for me and I will be sure to include them in my next video. He will then do a response video answering all of your questions! I plan on asking him if he had heard about Sorribes before getting this done, and why he decided against it. I’m also thinking about asking Per (the manager at Sorribes) to contact Sophie (a girl on Sorribes’s website that supposedly go great results in four months) and tell her what we are doing. Maybe she could give us some insight.
What else?
I am still going strong on Clip and Strip use. I sleep in both of them every night, and wear the Strips alone for the first half of the day.
Sometimes I feel lazy about changing the Strips, but then I remind myself that I DON’T want any blisters.
That’s all for now! Please gather your questions! I’m excited to talk to someone who’s had otoplasty!
Cheers!

Good luck Meghan! Thanks for keeping us all inspired.
Good luck and keep us posted on your job Meghan! We are rooting for you as we all truly appreciate your testing out sorribes … I’m waiting for a bit more feedback from you and the others before I buy the kit for my 6 year old daughter. It’s just so weird that there are no reviews at all online!!?? I emailed customer service for some more before/after photos and they never got back to me… Is this screaming scam? Should we get some doctors to come onto your site to give us some answers? Finally, do you think with your experience so far that this will be a nightmare for me to do for my daughter? I’m nervous she will fight me on it. Thanks so much!!
i can say for my 8 month old son the products do not seem painful/bothersome in the way they do for some of the adults who have posted on this blog. that said, i understand 8 months may be different than 6 years since your daughters ear cartilage is more formed. i would say at that age, you would definitely need buy in from your daughter–she would need to want the change as much as you in order to put up with the strips and clips. i will also say because i know that sorribes advertises the ear strips as being great during the day without the clips because you can’t see them…if your daughter has significantly prominent ears, there will definitely be a noticeable difference with the strips on, and the way they attach the ear to the back of itself is not totally natural looking. it is probably not something that strangers would notice, but people who know her probably would. i don’t say this to be discouraging…just to share our experience…
about my last comment…thinking about it more…it is probably more noticeable on a baby b/c he has very very thin hair. if your daughter has longer hair, this might not be an issue.
I’d love to have some doctors on here give us their opinion. The only positive opinions I’ve seen on the Sorribes Method are for kids. There’s this article here which says it will work for kids but not for adults:

I’m 28 years old, but I’m still hoping this will work. It’s been 2 months for me, but I’m still staying persistent with the products. There are tons of Otoplasty specialists online who give their opinions on chat forums, such as this one:

Maybe we can get one of them to give us their point of view!
Thank you so very much for this information!
I plan on joining this forum, and asking a few of these surgeons to do a short interview with me.
Stay tuned!
