The two are not contradictory statements. In this case Aizen believes others two be lesser than he, two dimensional or one dimensional. He is saying that he is the perfect three dimensional being, more than a shinigami, more than a hollow. He is something above all that. Ichigo, is now higher than he is. Ichigo has surpassed this third dimension that Aizen says he is in. Regardless, he made no mention that Ichigo would not lose his powers. Ichigo will lose his powers after this is done according to him.
