If you are using iCloud syncing for Messages, they are not saved anywhere but on your devices. When you delete them from one device, they are deleted from all of them.
If you are not using iCloud syncing, the messages are part of your back up. You can restore your phone from a back up that contains those messages. Note that doing so will overwrite everything that is on the phone now.
