Those leaves once they're bent won't ever come back to regular position again. They will eventually die off, but it will take a while. You can leave them on there as long as they're green and they will still contribute to the plant I suppose.
There was a lady at the farmers market and her banana did that and with the help of her grandkids, they made little splints out of tape and popsickle sticks and propped them back up. She said those leaves stayed on all summer. She doesn't let her banana out of the house for summer, she said she's afraid to put it in the yard! I don't know if you want to get that crazy with it, but it's an option...lol...
By the way those white eggplants are really good, I like the lavender touch ones too. We grew black beauty, ichiban, cloud nine and lavender touch for market last year and everyone liked them all. They really look pretty all together in a basket at market.
