If you're using iCloud Syncing for Messages, your messages are not part of your back up. Once deleted, they are gone.
If you're not using iCloud Syncing, you can restore your phone from your back up.

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

Is there a way to backup texts and restore just them?
