They are probably lost forever unless you have an old backup that has those messages.
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
Be aware that restore is an all or nothing process. You cannot only restore messages (for example) and any information on your device between now and when the backup was made will be lost.
