I had 1 syringe (1 mL) of Restylane for marionette lines 2 weeks ago. Is it possible that I metabolized as quickly as 2 weeks?

I doubt that anyone would be able to metabolize Restylane in two weeks time. The more likely causes of having no result after two weeks would be due to placement of the product or the amount used.  In treating the marionette lines, I would think that 1cc of Restylane should be sufficient.  I realize that you said not all of it was placed there, so it's possible that you need more and/or it needs to be placed in a slightly different location.  

Thank you for your question about injectable fillers.  It is true that everyone metabolizes products differently.  However, the product would last several months, definitely longer than two weeks.  I think you just need more product.  It is impossible to know without an in person consultation.  I recommend following up with your provider to discuss your options. 
To be sure you receive the best treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

     I think it is likely that you will need more product to fill the areas.
