I know the Mastopexy would be coded as 00402. Would you code left breast cancer to justify the Right Mastopexy or a different dx code?

Postop DX: Left Breast Cancer
Procedure Performed: MRI bracketed oncoplastic left central lumpectomy with removal of the nipple-areola complex and left axillary sentinel node biopsy with a right mastopexy.

Thank you
