There are a few different approaches to improve the quality of your skin and decrease the wrinkles. In your case, The most effective approach is laser resurfacing. I prefer a CO2 fractionated laser. This will remove some of the outer layer and result in new refreshed skin. The foundation of your face that supports the skin can be improved with fat transfer. The areas where the underlying muscles contribute to active /action wrinkles can be improved with relaxants such as Botox or xeomin. You can pick one or all of these approaches to seek improvement.

The wrinkles that you have on your face from sleeping are fairly superficial.  The treatment of superficial lines requires a procedure that will improve the surface of the skin, which surgery generally will not do.  A laser treatment or chemical peel would be options to help improve your lines.
