Do Implants Weigh More That Natural Breasts?

I am an E cup and have constant pain between my shoulder blades. I 5'2 and a small build. The moment I put on weight the pain increases. I do not want to look any different, but am tired of the pain and discomfort. I was considering having a reduction and replacing the natural tissue with implants, in an effort to look about the same size and have them sit higher. Would this work?

In response to your question, breast implants weight about the same as natural breast tissue, gram per gram.
