Unless you have floppy lips or something, with practice the muscles around your mouth'll be able to strengthen your lips and the buzzing will probably stop. Also, try not to use too much of your mouth muscle to play higher, but try to use more of your diaphragm muscles.

Hey Rex.
sins you play on sax and flute/pic.
Try doing same thing with your lip mussles as you do on sax. (But dont take your botom lip in your mouth as mutch)

Rex, I think you need to do a lot more practise, including volume changes, on the notes that do NOT buzz your lips, until your lip condition and muscles are sufficiently developed to cope with the other notes. If you keep buzzing, it can develop into a much more difficult problem to correct.
It could well be that your lips are too tight together for the amount of air pressure used. Increase the air pressure without pressing your lips so tight together.
Have you had an accomplished flute player/teacher check to see if you have any underlying problem, such as pulling your lips tight against your teeth.
Lera, a good flute embouchure has almost nothing in common with a good sax embouchure!!
