I am so sorry to hear about this. Hopefully the LGX will become better with time (I think the LGX requires a more prolonged stretching routine ?). This girth complaint has come up before on Franktalk. The complaint does seem to be with AMS models (?? especially the LGX ???).
With the titan, I am happy with the girth, but the flacid, in my case at 6 months, is not very good (my dick sticks out when I am nude, so I woud be embarassed at a nudist colony since I look like I have a "half chub stiffie" when walking aorund nude and deflated. Please note, with pants on, there is no issue and I do not "show particularly" with flat dress pants -- with clothing, I am totally normal.
I think some surgeons like the AMS CX better than LGX ????. There was a paper comparing CX versus titan which I have quoted before, and it stated the CX and Titan are equally liked by the sexual partner:

There is an article which used questionnaires for patient satisfaction. The good news, patients and their partners were happy with both implants !! So you are OK with either !!!!
Comparison of the patient and partner satisfaction with 700CX and Titan penile prostheses
Javier Romero Otero, et al
Most widespread three‐component penile prosthesis models are 700CXTM and Titan®. Our purpose is to assess patient and partner satisfaction after the first implant. This is a multicenter, retrospective, nonrandomized study in which all patients who met the inclusion criteria between 2009 and 2013 were included. In total, 248 patients agreed to participate. To evaluate patient satisfaction, a validated but modified 11‐question questionnaire was completed (EDITS); and a nonvalidated two‐item questionnaire was given to the partner. Statistical analysis used an ordinal logistic regression model. Two hundred and forty‐eight patients (194 with 700CXTM vs 54 with Titan®) and 207 couples completed the questionnaire (165 with 700CXTM vs 42 with Titan®). Overall satisfaction was high. Both showed great reliability for sexual intercourse and high compliance with prior expectations. Most patients were able to manage the penile prosthesis correctly within 6 months. Postoperative penile shortening led to some dissatisfaction in 42% and 46% of cases (700CXTM/Titan®). Significant differences were found in three questions of patients’ questionnaire. There were more patients satisfied with the 700CXTM (P = 0.0001). No patient with Titan® implant took longer than 6 months to optimal management. Only 4% of patients with 700CXTM implant were dissatisfied with the deflation, in contrast to 24% with the Titan® (P = 0.0031). Of the two partners’ questions, one showed a statistically significant difference (P = 0.0026). It seems that group 700CXTM would recommend to re‐implant the prosthesis with a greater tendency. The overall satisfaction was very high for both prostheses. The final aspect of the erected and flaccid penis was satisfactory, but both groups showed significant discontent with its final size. Partners’ overall satisfaction was high.

CONCLUSIONS
Given the data in this study, it can be said that in the best possible scenario for a PP implant, the overall satisfaction is very high for both types of prosthesis. And while both groups found the final appearance of the penis, when erects and especially when flaccids, to be satisfactory, both showed significant discontent with its final size. The vast majority of the patients could manage the prosthesis within 6 months or less, and the degree of satisfaction of the partners is high. However, the optimal management of the 700CXTM took longer than with the Titan®, and the dissatisfaction with the deflation was higher with the Titan®.
