Carlos Arango pleaded guilty to a single felony count Friday for procedures he performed on several New York women in 2011.
The attorney general's office said Arango has admitted recruiting women from a spa in Queens and doing the procedures in Stamford, Conn., and Manhattan.
In a criminal complaint filed in April, authorities accused Arango and William Ordonez, who are not licensed doctors, along with Dr. Marlon Castillo of performing cosmetic surgeries without general anesthesia and leaving some women disfigured.
Castillo has pleaded not guilty to charges including fraud and assault. Authorities say they are still looking for Ordonez.
