Deleted means deleted... most of the time. Try checking the Instagram archive to see if it saved your messages.
Pro tip: Before deleting important DMs, take screenshots! Not a recovery method, but it'll save you headaches later on.
If you accidentally deleted a DM, you can request a copy of your full data archive from Instagram. It includes everything, even DMs! You can request it from your settings under 'Privacy and Security'.
