Magento get parent category and all his sub categories

This is my category tree:

Cat_1 (This is the parent category with ID 4)
    Subcat_1
    Subcat_2
        Subsubcat_1
        Subsubcat_2
    Subcat_3
        Subsubcat_3
        Subsubcat_4
    Subcat_4

I tried this code to retrieve this category tree but i only came to the level of the subcats. I need one level deeper.

<?php
$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(4);
$subcats = $cat->getChildren();

foreach(explode(',',$subcats) as $subCatid)
{
  $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCatid);
  if($_category->getIsActive()) {
    $sub_cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
    $sub_subcats = $sub_cat->getChildren();
    foreach(explode(',',$sub_subcats) as $sub_subCatid)
    {
          $_sub_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($sub_subCatid);
          if($_sub_category->getIsActive()) {
              echo '<li class="sub_cat"><a href="'.$_sub_category->getURL().'" title="View the products for the "'.$_sub_category->getName().'" category">'.$_sub_category->getName().'</a></li>';
          }
     }
  }
}
?>

Can someone help me?

Try this. 

<?php
$cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(4);
$subcats = $cat->getChildren();

foreach(explode(',',$subcats) as $subCatid)
{
  $_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($subCatid);
  if($_category->getIsActive()) {
    echo '<ul><a href="'.$_category->getURL().'" title="View the products for the "'.$_category->getName().'" category">'.$_category->getName().'</a>';
    $sub_cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
    $sub_subcats = $sub_cat->getChildren();
    foreach(explode(',',$sub_subcats) as $sub_subCatid)
    {
          $_sub_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($sub_subCatid);
          if($_sub_category->getIsActive()) {
              echo '<li class="sub_cat"><a href="'.$_sub_category->getURL().'" title="View the products for the "'.$_sub_category->getName().'" category">'.$_sub_category->getName().'</a></li>';
              $sub_sub_cat = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($sub_subCatid);
              $sub_sub_subcats = $sub_sub_cat->getChildren();
              foreach(explode(',',$sub_sub_subcats) as $sub_sub_subCatid)
              {
                $_sub_sub_category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($sub_sub_subCatid);
                if($_sub_sub_category->getIsActive()) {
                    echo '<li class="sub_cat"><a href="'.$_sub_sub_category->getURL().'" title="View the products for the "'.$_sub_sub_category->getName().'" category">'.$_sub_sub_category->getName().'</a></li>';
                }
              }
           }
     }
     echo '</ul>';
  }
}

?>
