puffing the upper lip?

Does anybody have any thoughts on puffing their upper lip when playing?...It's a habit I have found myself doing more and more lately, and it definately helps with my upper register, but I have a lot of difficulty playing smoothly into the lower range on this set up. I have heard that James Thompson teaches this as a means of providing a cushion for the chops...is this true? Just curious on some thoughts. Now it has become a mind thing for me where before I play i find myself battling with myself on whether I will puff the lip or not.
