If you are using iCloud Syncing for Messages, once you delete the messages, they are gone.


If you are not using iCloud Syncing and you have a back up that contains the messages, you can restore your phone from that back up:


Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


Note that restoring your phone from a back up will overwrite everything currently on it.
