facelift
The modernization or visual redesign of a product, especially a car model, a website, or the facade of a building.
Das neue Automodell ist keine komplette Neuentwicklung, sondern nur ein Facelift des Vorgängers.
The new car model is not a completely new development, but only a facelift of its predecessor.
'Facelift' is a word from English that was adopted directly into German. It is made up of 'face' (Gesicht) and 'lift' (Anhebung), which describes the original meaning well.
Ein Facelift ist ein teurer Eingriff.
A facelift is an expensive procedure.
The two meanings can easily be distinguished by context. If people are talking about a person and beauty, it means the operation. If they are talking about a product such as a car or a website, it means modernization.
Sie sieht nach ihrem Facelift viel jünger aus.
She looks much younger after her facelift.
In connection with the cosmetic operation, 'Facelift' is often used with the verbs 'sich unterziehen' (to undergo) or 'machen lassen' (to have done), because it is a procedure that a person has performed on themselves.
Er hat sich vor fünf Jahren einem Facelift unterzogen.
He underwent a facelift five years ago.
When it is about modernizing products, 'Facelift' is often combined with verbs such as 'bekommen' (to get), 'erhalten' (to receive), or 'durchführen' (to carry out). It usually describes a visual or technical refresh, not a completely new development.
Das beliebte Automodell hat ein Facelift für das nächste Jahr bekommen.
The popular car model has received a facelift for next year.
revision / overwork
Both words can describe a change to a product or website. Überarbeitung is general and can also improve content or functions, whereas a Facelift usually means a targeted visual modernization in marketing or design. Use „Überarbeitung“ for comprehensive changes and often „Facelift“ for a fresher appearance.
Das Facelift der Webseite gibt ihr ein moderneres Aussehen.
The website's facelift gives it a more modern appearance.
Die Überarbeitung der Webseite verbessert Inhalte und Bedienung.
