If you have actually formatted it, then you need a low level editor and I don't know of one for USB connected flash media. The data may be lost for ever anyway because the directory/FAT will have been rewritten and reconstructing the blocks without having the pointers to them is going to be very hard.
For undeletion of files that have been deleted, I have used FinalRecovery which works brilliantly, on various camera media.

We used Data Doctor Recovery successfully (for memory cards) after our camera SD card was corrupted. Don't know if it will work after a format though...

You could try www.recuva.com/ (free) though I tend to use File Scavenger www.quetek.com/prod02.htm - (free to try).
Good luck...

Perhaps all is not lost even after a format.
Google has a number of responses including this one which mentions formats.

Sandisk have a recovery program which they include with some of their flash cards. (Mine came with an 8GB card, unfortunately it is a small CD which I cannot use in my Mac) I would try their program, it may help.
PS, just noticed that this URL is for the Mac version but there is a link on the page for a PC version.
PPS. I am assuming that I should not have to mention that if you have overwritten the card with more images some of the previous data will likely not be recoverable, but then I am sure you knew that :-)
Yet another PS/edit but here is the link to the Sandisk program and it says it covers formatted cards.
