$140-$390/hr reconstructive and aesthetic work, on your schedule
You grade a model's reconstructive plans, flap selections, and aesthetic recommendations, catching the free flap it picks with no recipient vessels. You explain the perfusion and donor site factors a checklist leaves out, remote and paid by the hour.
Trusted by top research companies
Hi, we're Zac and Jack, the founders of Terac. We want to talk to you directly, because you are the most important part of what we're building.
Terac is a community of experts. People who have spent years getting good at something specific and hard. The world is about to need more of you, not less. As AI takes on more of the world's work, the bottleneck shifts to the people who actually know what they're talking about.
Expert labor is the rarest resource in the world right now, and it is shockingly hard to find. The companies that need a plastic surgeon's eye on a flap doomed by poor perfusion spend weeks chasing people, paying placement fees, and settling for whoever is available. Meanwhile thousands of qualified people are sitting with knowledge that no one ever asks for.
That gap is what we're here to close. Every project that lands on Terac is routed to the people who actually know the answer, on their schedule, paid fairly, and only when the work is verified. No middleman taking a cut of your time. No vague gigs. No chasing checks.
We care about every single person in this community. If you join Terac, you're not a row in a database to us. We read the feedback. We answer the emails. We will fight for you when a customer is being unreasonable, and we will be honest with you when something on our side is broken. The quality of this panel is our entire company, and we owe you a serious bar.
If you've made it this far, here is what we're asking: claim your profile. Put your expertise on the record. Let the world's most ambitious teams come find you for the work only you can do.
Plastic Surgery questions

Reconstruction is a chain of tradeoffs around perfusion, donor site, and patient risk a general model oversimplifies. Catching the doomed flap or the overambitious single-stage plan is judgment no atlas holds. That is exactly what the work pays for.
Yes. We verify board certification and an active or recent US operative license. Microsurgery, reconstructive, craniofacial, or aesthetic experience routes you to higher-paying, more complex review work.
No. You evaluate text, reconstructive plans, and flap selections, never a real patient. There is no doctor-patient relationship and no clinical liability. You judge whether the model's reasoning is sound and safe.
Reconstructive plans and flap selections, microsurgical candidacy assessments, aesthetic surgery recommendations, and postoperative flap monitoring reasoning. You grade each for surgical soundness, perfusion logic, donor site tradeoffs, and standard of care.
Flag it as a high-severity surgical error. Identify any plan that selects tissue without viable blood supply or recipient vessels, explain the perfusion and patient factors the model ignored, and describe the safer reconstruction so the system learns to respect viability.
Why your expertise matters
Today's plastic surgery AI picks the wrong reconstruction. It chooses a free flap with no recipient vessels, attempts a single-stage repair on a smoker, and promises an aesthetic result the anatomy cannot support. Climbing the reconstructive ladder correctly takes a surgeon, not an atlas. Your corrections teach the model to weigh perfusion, donor site, and patient factors that actually heal.
How pay works
Work pays $140 to $390 an hour, with microsurgery, craniofacial, and reconstructive depth plus complex operative planning at the top. Bill for time spent evaluating reconstructive plans, flap selections, and aesthetic recommendations. Most plastic surgeons work a few flexible hours a week.
What the work looks like
A sample of the reconstructive and aesthetic work you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Catch the AI reconstructive plan that proposes a free flap for a lower-extremity wound with no suitable recipient vessels documented.
- Reject a model's single-stage complex reconstruction in an active smoker where staging or a more reliable flap is safer.
- Flag an AI flap selection for a sacral pressure injury that skips the reconstructive ladder for an unnecessarily complex option.
- Decide which of two AI breast reconstruction plans correctly weighs autologous versus implant-based options for the patient's anatomy.
- Critique a machine-written post-op monitoring plan for a free flap that misses venous congestion needing urgent return to the OR.
- Reject an AI aesthetic plan that promises a result the underlying anatomy and tissue quality cannot safely support.
