Hey Paris00,
We'd be happy to help out. If you're using iCloud for Messages, and you've purposely deleted them from your "Recently Deleted" folder or it's been over 30 days since you deleted them originally, they wouldn't be recoverable at this point in time. If you don't use iCloud for Messages, you can restore a backup from when these messages still appeared on your device, if available, using these steps: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
Keep in mind that new messages since the backup was created would be lost if restoring an old backup, so keep that in mind when weighing your options.
We hope this helps out.
Take care!
