EXCLUSIVE: 'I look better than ever': Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer on how surgery helped her feel sexy again at 59

She's endured plenty of heartache in recent years, but Ramona Singer has emerged feeling more confident than ever.

The Real Housewives of New York star, who split from her husband Mario in 2014, says she looks better at 59 thanks to carefree new outlook, strict fitness routine, hair extensions and a boob job.

'I’m feeling really good. A weight has been lifted off me and that’s reflected in my face and my spirit and my body,' she tells DailyMail.com.

The Bravo star said she had her breasts enhanced because she wanted to 'feel sexier,' but she has no intention of going under the knife again.

'Why would I have anything planned? I look the best I’ve ever looked,' she said. 'I think I look great, I’m very happy.' 

The star revealed that her plastic surgeon Dr Sharon Giese was reluctant to perform the boob job on her and tried to talk her out of it.

'I’ve always had great breasts,' she revealed. 'My legs and my breasts have always been great features.'

'In fact my doctor, she thought I was nuts, she didn’t even want to touch my breasts. 

'She was like, ‘Are you kidding? You have gorgeous breasts and your breasts are better than most 25-year-olds. What are you doing?’

The reality star said people choose plastic surgery 'to make you feel better' - and that the results have boosted her confidence.  

'I did it for me... I wanted to feel sexier,' she said.

'I wanted to be able to look just as good with a brassiere as without one.

'And before, because I am over 50, let’s face it gravity hits. It wasn’t hitting that badly, but I wanted to look perkier. I wanted to be perky the way I was in my 30s.'

'And it made me feel good,' she added. 

The reality star said she saw no issue with getting plastic surgery over 50.

'Most women have had their breasts done two or three times already,' said Ramona.

'There are girls getting their breasts done at 17,18,20 - it’s crazy. So for me to wait until after 50, so be it. Why not?'

Ramona denied having invasive work done on her face. 

'Most girls my age over 50 have had the complete facelift, the neck lift and I don’t really need that,' she said. 'I’m into working out and staying fit.'

The reality star initially kept her boob job a secret but came clean after she was confronted by her cast-mates on the last season of RHONY.

The Bravo star has a 21-year-old daughter Avery from her marriage to Mario.
