The clarify the previous post, if you are using iCloud Syncing for Messages, once you delete a message, it's gone. On all of your synced devices. If you are not using iCloud Syncing, and you regularly back up your phone, it's possible the messages may be in a back up. You can restore your phone from that back up.

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