If you are using Messages in iCloud, then if you deleted them they are gone for good. If not, then you will have to restore your device from a backup that has those messages. See:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

Be aware that restore is an all or nothing process. You cannot restore only messages (for example) and any information on your device between now and when the backup was created will be lost.
