Etymology

The term 'facelifted' originates from the noun 'facelift,' which itself refers to a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the face by tightening the skin and removing wrinkles. The term began to be used metaphorically in the late 20th century to describe upgrades or aesthetic changes in various objects like cars, buildings, and even websites. As products began to focus more on design and user experience, the idea of giving something a 'facelift' became synonymous with refreshing its look without changing its core structure. This evolution reflects broader cultural trends where aesthetics are often prioritized in consumer choices.
