In English, you don't "extend" your lips.
He's pursing his lips. He's puckering his lips. His lips protruded. He puckered up for a kiss.
You can extend your hand. You can extend your friendship. You can extend an apology, your condolences, an explanation....
But the verb "extend" is not common to describe your lips.

There's nothing grammatically wrong with it, but I don't think a native speaker would write that. "Pursing" his lips might be the word you are looking for, but it's not clear to me what sort of lip extension we are talking about here. If he's thinking, then pursing his lips. If he's sticking out just his lower lip because he's sad, then pouting. Or if he's making some kind of face, be more descriptive.

Yes except for not capitalizing He's

That's right, except for capitalization and punctuation.
