The key word here is permanent. If you sync photos with iCloud: Settings > Your Name, Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store. If you deleted photos, they go to a recently deleted folder, where they remain for 30 days to give you the opportunity to restore them if you want. If you delete them from the recently deleted photos album, that's permanent and you can't restore them.


If you don't sync with iCloud and you have a backup made from before you deleted the photos, you can restore your phone from backup, but that will restore your phone to the date the backup was made and things from after that date will be gone.
