Scleral show
Scleral show can be present for a number of different reasons and sometimes more than one reason. This single view from an angle does not allow anyone to ascertain what the problems are so I cannot make any specific recommendation. It is not clear from the photo that your cheekbones are flat or how flat they are.

Flat cheeks and scleral show
It is difficult to address your problem without actually seeing you. I do a lot of cheek enhancement with injectable Radiesse. Cheek implant can be problematic but, you could go that route. From what i can see, you are very attractive and may be best advised to leave well enough alone>

Flat cheeks and scleral show treatment.
The short answer is yes and no. Fillers will improve the cheeks and last 2 -3 years. I doubt that at your age they will lift the cheek enough to improve your scleral show. Cheek implants are a permanent solution for the cheeks and may or may not improve your scleral show slightly. You can start with Radiesse and see if you like the results and later have cheek implants.
