If you are syncing Messages with iCloud, you can't recover them. If you aren't syncing with iCloud, restore from your backup.


Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore.


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup
