I believe the answer is:

facelift

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'revamping' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'deal with elevator' is the wordplay.
'deal with' becomes 'face' (facing is a kind of dealing with).
'elevator' becomes 'lift' (synonyms).
'face'+'lift'='FACELIFT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for facelift that I've seen before include "Improved appearance" , "plastic surgery" , "wrinkle treatment" , "Cosmetic surgery" , "surgical treatment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
