If you sync notes with iCloud (Settings > Your Name, iCloud > iCloud) and Notes are turned on once you deleted from the recently deleted folder they are gone. If you don't sync with iCloud and you have a backup from before you deleted the notes, you can restore your phone from that backup, but be advised, that will mean your phone will be current from the time the backup was made and new items on your phone (texts, notes, etc) will be gone.
