Confront elevator getting renovation (8)
I believe the answer is:
facelift
'renovation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'confront elevator getting' is the wordplay.
'confront' becomes 'face' (synonyms).
'elevator' becomes 'lift' (synonyms).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'face'+'lift'='FACELIFT'
(Other definitions for facelift that I've seen before include "Cosmetic surgery" , "Improved appearance" , "surgical treatment" , "plastic surgery" , "wrinkle treatment" .)
