How did you format it? Quick, or hard/clean format?
A quick format will just clear the file allocation table, but not clear the actual data thereon, whereas the hard/clean format will in fact write a 0 to each sector/piece of the drive, which would then not leave any recoverable data. Lastly, for this type of recovery it's in fact best to try find a person who does it professionally since it's a bit of a specialised task, and I have previously just made the effort to in fact backup the important information at regular intervals - been a bit off with this recently.
