If you use messages in iCloud, then no. Deletions are permanent. If not using messages in iCloud, and if your device backup has not updated since the deletions, you can restore the iCloud (or iTunes) backup to get them back. But, if the device backup has updated since the deletion, then the deletions are permanent.
