If you are playing in the red you need to move to a mouthpiece with a greater inner rim diameter remember to roll your lips as is saying the syllable "mm". the tendecy for player with big lips is to try to "hug" the outer rim with the lips which causes you to have a giant aperture which will lead to upper register trouble once you try to play over a concert Eb on the top stave.
