<p>You are given a string <code node="[object Object]">s</code> consisting of <strong>lowercase English letters</strong>, and you are allowed to perform operations on it. In one operation, you can <strong>replace</strong> a character in <code node="[object Object]">s</code> with another lowercase English letter.</p>

<p>Your task is to make <code node="[object Object]">s</code> a <strong>palindrome</strong> with the <strong>minimum</strong> <strong>number</strong> <strong>of operations</strong> possible. If there are <strong>multiple palindromes</strong> that can be <meta charset="utf-8" />made using the <strong>minimum</strong> number of operations, <meta charset="utf-8" />make the <strong>lexicographically smallest</strong> one.</p>

<p>A string <code>a</code> is lexicographically smaller than a string <code>b</code> (of the same length) if in the first position where <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> differ, string <code>a</code> has a letter that appears earlier in the alphabet than the corresponding letter in <code>b</code>.</p>

<p>Return <em>the resulting palindrome string.</em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;egcfe&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;efcfe&quot;
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The minimum number of operations to make &quot;egcfe&quot; a palindrome is 1, and the lexicographically smallest palindrome string we can get by modifying one character is &quot;efcfe&quot;, by changing &#39;g&#39;.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;abcd&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;abba&quot;
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The minimum number of operations to make &quot;abcd&quot; a palindrome is 2, and the lexicographically smallest palindrome string we can get by modifying two characters is &quot;abba&quot;.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;seven&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;neven&quot;
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The minimum number of operations to make &quot;seven&quot; a palindrome is 1, and the lexicographically smallest palindrome string we can get by modifying one character is &quot;neven&quot;.
</pre>
