facelifted
Had work done
Facelifted describes something that has undergone cosmetic renovation or updating.
The term comes from the surgical procedure that tightens facial skin, but it most often appears in automotive contexts, where a facelifted model has received minor exterior updates—new headlights, grille, or bumpers—without a full redesign: The facelifted sedan debuts next month.
It applies to buildings, brands, or anything refreshed without fundamental change.
