If you’re using messages in iCloud then deletions are permanent -> Keep all your messages in iCloud - Apple Support
If you don’t use messages in iCloud, then restore your most recent iCloud backup to get recently deleted messages back. But note that will replace everything on your device with the backup contents.

Thanks Michael. The other research I did pointed to this counterintuitive and disappointing answer- I was just hoping there was some way around it.
It’s just so easy to accidentally delete a conversation and all accompanying photos. Argh!!
thanks anyways.
