Help! How can I get my photos back from a formatted SD card?

[Android Central Question]

I have a 8 GB SD card which has stored thousands of photos. Today, in the morning, when I connected my SD card to the computer, it said my SD was damaged and recommended me to format it. I did so without thinking. And now I am very regretted. Because I have no ways to get my photos back. Anybody can help me? please! It's very important for me. My husband and children's photos are in the SD card.

Sorry to hear this. Do you have a backup of at least some of the photos?
