If you are using iCloud Syncing for Messages, once the messages are deleted, they are gone. There is no "finding" them.

If you're not using iCloud Syncing and you have a back up that contains the messages, you can restore your phone from that back up:

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

Note that restoring the phone to that back up will overwrite everything currently on the phone.
