Did you create any backups in iCloud or on your computer prior to that?

If you sync your contacts with iCloud, make sure that in Settings/iCloud the option for "Contacts" is enabled. Then your contacts should sync back to your phone after opening the contact app.


If you have a backup on your computer, restore from that backup to get all contact info back, that has been saved at that point when the backup had been made.
