facelift
Tightening sagging skin
A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that tightens facial skin to reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging.
The term extends to any renovation or update that refreshes the appearance of something without fundamentally changing it: The old theater got a facelift last year.
The website's facelift made it look more modern.
Whether applied to faces or buildings, the word suggests cosmetic improvement rather than structural overhaul.
