A nurse has pleaded guilty to her role in a botched boob job that saw a beauty salon owner die in hospital two days after the surgery.

A nurse has pleaded guilty over her role in a fatal, botched breast enlargement procedure performed on a Sydney beauty salon owner.

Chinese woman Yueqiong Fu on Friday admitted recklessly administering bags of anaesthetic to endanger life and lying to investigators after Jean Huang underwent a breast filler operation at a Chippendale hospital in August 2017 and died in hospital two days later.

Police question Yueqiong Fu following the botched procedure.

She will be sentenced later on Friday in Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court. The first offence carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail, though Fu’s early plea entitles her to a 25 per cent discount.

Fu had previously been charged with manslaughter.
