Check if you have iTunes or iCloud backup of your iPhone first, if you have either of them, try to recover deleted data on iPhone with previous backup with iPhone Backup Extractor.

iTunes and iCloud will automatically back up your iPhone even if have not done it manually:
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your iPhone on a daily basis as long as your device is:
Connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi
Connected to a power source
Screen locked

iTunes can create backups of your iPhone automatically when you sync with iTunes (disabled if you have iCloud backup turned on).

Still haven't found your iPhone backup? Try this iCloud Data Recovery

Generally speaking, if you accidentally lose all your data when you sync with iTunes, there may be a backup file in iTunes. You can check that if you have backed up data successfully.
Launch the latest version of iTunes, and click Edit > Preferences > Devices
You can see whether you have backed up data or not. And select the previous one, click "Reset Sync History" and then it works.

However, if you can not back up from iTunes, you'd better try some other data recovery software to overcome the problem. Like iPhone Data Recovery, which can recover lost data from iPhone directly.

Remember not to use iPhone any more, maybe the new data will overwrite the lost data.
Google to find some tutorial to get more information.
It might be use of you.

It becomes very easy to recover data from iPhone. Below are the steps about how to do it. Recovering data from an iTunes backup is typically much quicker than from a device, because the data's already on your Mac.

    You can recover your data by using iTunes Backup
    1.FoneLab can open up the contents of any iTunes device backups on your Mac, and give you the same level of access that you'd get with an attached device.
    2.The steps for retrieving your data from a backup file are exactly the same, except that you select from a list of backups on your Mac's hard drive rather than connect the device to your USB port.
    3.You can then either selectively recover individual files or output all the contents of the missing device to a folder.
    4.By default, Mac FoneLab will automatically open your output folder once it's finished recovering your files. From there, you can use the data as if it had never been lost at all.
    Thanks

If your iPhone data are indeed lost or deleted. I would suggest you try using iTunes in order to restore your iPhone data from the last time you last synce your iPhone with your iTunes. Here are two easy methods to recover data from iPhone:
One. Recover data from iPhone yourself via iTune:
1. Connect your phone with iTune on computer
2. Right-click or control-click on the iPhone icon under iDevice on iTunes
3. Select "Restore from Backup" from the given options
4. After it finishes, your data are back to your iPhone

Two. Recover data from iPhone by using third party iPhone data recovery software
If you have no backup for your data, you can download iPhone data recovery software in order to overcome the problem and restore iPhone data loss. Still you have not recovered lost data from iPhone, some on-line applications also available which can be helpful in restoring precious data details, probably will be able to find the solution to some extent.

And I think if you want to know more info about this you can have a look at this article: How to Recover Lost Data from Your iPhone

I deleted an important text message by mistake from my iphone. is there anyway to retrieve deleted messages?

Yes, there is a way to recover your iPhone SMS.

As a matter of fact, every time you sync data between iPhone and iTunes, all previous data will be automatically backed up by iTunes and stored as a .sqlitedb file, which will be updated along with the later sync continuously. But those backup files can't be viewed or taken out unless you use some software using special algorithms to extract.
